This is pretty much what the SiS driver does after Thomas got his
hands on it. It programms the SiS and it knows about several video
bridges attached to it.

OT, but for the record: With SiS, it is actuall the other way round. SiS' Windows drivers do mode changes _exclusively_ by calling the BIOS. That's why they never need to update their Windows driver... and produce zillions of different BIOSes instead :(
