☺.  it seems to be a truism among hardware folks.  the worse
the documentation is, the more tightly it is kept.

the via parts do a very good job with vesa.  i find our 800mhz
terminals very usable.  the graphics are pretty snappy.

i think it would be more of a priority to tackle the amd(ati)
and intel parts for which there is actual documentation.
intel documentation is not that great, but, you can learn
to live with it.

fortunately adding one more thing to the list of things
to do will not decrease the amount of my infinite spare
time.
