Do you know if it is possible to get the datasheet on the
Sis630E chipset?
If I use this I need to setup the vga. I see there is a Linux
driver, but I
don't know if I it has enough setup without a PC-BIOS init first.
You have to sign NDA to get the register spec. What kind of VGA init are you going to do ??

Just need to init to 80 x 25 color text. Load an 8x16 font and write attribute/char data at 0xB8000 in the standard fashion. That's it.
I can get a register dump from the board with the mobo and PC-BIOS, assuming in alpha mode it has legacy CRTC, Sequencer, Attribute, Graphics, etc in the standard locations. But I need to know the extended register settings to enable access to these from power on. And any extended DCLK register locations/settings required.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I don't have a problem with an NDA unless is prevents publishing the source code.
