I think he suggested that you add *your* info to that section, not that you
add that section itself. Examine the BIOS dump and look for a similar
identifying string. Find the offset that string starts at, and use `ed' to
add
0x<offset>="<identifying string>"
after the ctlr line of the above section. Hopefully, the kernel already has a
working video driver for your card, but it needs to know which driver to use
for your card.
man vgadb | p
for more info.
