With integrated memory, it doesn't need to worry about the memory timings,
so the biggest issue is just the monitor frequency stuff, and detecting
all the attached monitors (and their types, of course). But I haven't
actually looked at what all it does, I'm just a happy user.

The really good news being that Intel seems to really support this all (ie
it's mainly done by people workign for Intel), and they have given up
their old lying ways of saying that it can only be done by the BIOS, and
admitted that they were just full of it..

So no reverse engineering needed, and the next generation should hopefully
be supported right out the gate, with no need to play games.
