Thanks to earlycj5!
I had just copied the text out of the provided PDF and used that as the necessary code. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell the difference between the two characters that both looked like the minus sign.
After manually entering it and patching the kernel source with the AGP and DRM patches, I was able to enable rendering and get the card back up and working. Unfortunately, there is still no acceleration for video and processor usage is so high as to make it useless for video playback. I'll keep my eye on the VIA page and hope that they actually release fully functional drivers one day. It's disappointing for a major manufacturer not to fully support the open source community in a timely fashion.
Again, thanks for the advice!
