I saw your work, but unfortunately by the time I got to your page I had already sorted out the vsa issues. Fortunately I've been using a piggy-backed ROM so if/when it all goes kaput I just pull the LPC module. VGA isn't even a major problem for the product I'm working on, but I really can't understand how such an otherwise awesome chipset has missed out of VGA :S Thanks anyway Benjamin.
