OK, I found the DS, and will calculate the optimal registers values.

If you can send them to me (to matan@arava.co.il), I will be grateful, 
and maybe I can put them on my site.

Not directly, but possible thru the VMCAR+VMCDR. So I will be able to 
implement cursor function for fbcon, but programs that read the FB won't 
work on sa1101fb.

I only did the minimum for the usb-ohci driver to be able to read the 
ohci registers on the sa1101, so my guess is that there is still a 
problem in DMA setup (the memory allocation, address translation, etc.)


Also I noted that there is a GPIO needed in order to activate the VGA. I 
found this by booting to linux while the VGA was active, and comparing 
the registers. Do you have a program that dumps the register values 
while in windows? (to find values that the kernel changes while 
initializing).
