Oh, I see what you mean - I thought you meant you have no access to
the GPU outside of VSA/VGA. Yes, I believe that is correct for VGA
users.
The released VSA source only supports the PCI header emulation. A native
driver is expected to do all the graphics work.

I don't understand that it defaulted to 5530. In sysmgr\sysmgr.h
SUPPORT_CS5536 is the targeted chipset. It has been a long time, but
SUPPORT_CS5535 should also work. I don't know if SUPPORT_CS5530 would work.
