Hi,

perhaps I should have added that my main objective is to fix the freeze. That viafb sometimes requires a bunch of parameters for correct operation as described in viafb.txt is a known issue I'm trying to fix on the long term (but that proves quite difficult without much support from VIA)
I just dug in my inbox and found the relevant bug report where the VGA hardware looks identical to yours:

Sadly the thread was interupted (reply-all problem) and the potential freeze was reported later as a sidenote.
