I have the same VGA board in my notebook (no name, seems to be the same
as Sager's NP3600 in the US).  It has a VESA BIOS and works perfectly
well with the builtin VESA driver in go32, i.e., with no external
driver at all. I get 640x480x256 on the LCD panel and should get
1024x768x256 on an external monitor (untested).

Cirrus has an anonymous ftp site (ftp.cirrus.com) and seems to provide
tech support via e-mail. The e-mail address should be found somewhere
on their ftp site. Don't expect too much, though. They seem to mainly
concentrate on MS-Windoze drivers.
