Support for Boser crusoe board?

Another vendor to look at for graphics parts in smaller quantities is 
Silicon Motion

http://www.siliconmotion.com

They also have usually been able to spin a new Video BIOS and/or video 
drivers in a few days. This is great when you need to support a new 
display resolution or LCD panel.
