Hi,
but if you checkout the PCI table in the driver, there is the device
and vendor ID mentioned, that means for me that the driver supports
the Graphic core in E680.
And after loading the driver, it will parse for $VBT.
I just find a comment in the PCI table with "E620" but
the device and vendor id is the same for E680.

What do you mean with "Moorestown style" ?

Andy
