Hi,
I've got an EPIA board, with a trident CyberBlade chipset. Does anyone
have doco on this chipset? The random Xfree stuff available from VIA is
less-than-enlightening (I'm not familiar with X internals).
I'm basically just interested in getting FB working for NTSC output.
Someone was working on this in the VIA forums, but i haven't noticed any
output from him recently.
Pointers to documentation/other posts on this are greatly appreciated.

Is this the Cyber9397? I have some PDF docs about that chip at home.

Unfortunately, it's a CyberBlade i1, which looks to be distinct from that
chip in the driver source i have here.
lspci -vv:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev
6a) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1

The chipset docs are freely downloadable from VIA (including the 3d
info). The TV on the epia is a seperate chip. I use the vesa mode switch
to program that

For the record, a friend of mine pointed me to:
http://epiafb.sourceforge.net/
today. fb sort of works, the mode initialization doesn't get the mode
quite right it seems, but a manual fbset works for me afterwards.
