I think you're right (and it's a pleasure to meet you, by the way), but the SiS licenses are, as far as I've read them, now protected under two entities instead of just one, so it may be another nVidia case; a company that *wants* to open up but can't. Would you like to contact him, or should

I've found myself in the unfortunate ownership of many of these pitiful SiS315-based cards and boards with onboard SiS video. I may be interested in reverse-engineering, as I rather like that sort of tedious work. however, after seeing as much as I have seen from these short-sighted companies, I
