Linux has a basic framebuffer driver for it that could be a good
reference.  I don't think the details of these chips was ever publicly
shared, they were used on a few Diamond FireGL cards (before ATI).  If
you want an easier start, some of the 2d cards use common chipsets,
for instance the GXT130P is a Matrox G200 and the GXT135P is a Matrox
G450.
