I've looked at it - you only offer binary drivers.
However I think I know what you do. Your patch is pretty similar to
the VESAFbHack patch posted a while ago.
I'm thinking of something different: sis_bios.c is converted BIOS code
anyway. Since we have the int10 infrastructure we can use it to
run the real BIOS and eliminate much of the code in sis_bios.c.

I would certainly love to have better docs for the graphics part of
the 630 than there are in the 630 datasheet.
