I started looking at that a while ago, but didn't get very far. To get
much further (and also to tackle the VGA out problems) I probably need
the chip docs, but I haven't really pursued them. My one email asking to
become an X developer was ignored, and I don't know of any other way to
get the docs currently.

The scaling patches I worked on had a problem with display flickering.
They also needed a general mechanism to get the physical panel size.

I didn't get this one resolved at the time.
