Cirrus Logic GD5480 (in the 5434 series according to the XFree docs).
I just installed a fresh Debian Alpha 2.0 system and the SVGA X server
prints out that it only has drivers for various MGA (Matrox) cards, a
TGA card and the S3 Virge card. <sigh> I guess its time for me to dig
in and try and get the Cirrus Logic driver to compile (it doesn't by
default on the alpha) and see if I can make it work.

I've got it at home, I'll get to that this weekend.
