Should be in the Elan SC520 datasheet if you aren't using an OS which
already provides a driver for this, or you can probably find some old code
if you search for things like "net4501 gpio" etc.

For the reset button I don't know if it's latched on the 4501 but I guess
it's likely. Dump the state of all the gpio lines, then press the button once,
dump again and see what changed...

Is the html mail really necessary?

You're probably looking for Xvfb (this doesn't need anything in-kernel).

The Soekris boards are not really the wrong hardware if you want to run a video 
card.
