Ok thanks, I have reported your problem in the upstream bugzilla at the
URL above.

No, it probably just means the developers didn't have such hardware to
test on. There might actually be some code already written for this
hardware. For instance, there is support for the "ch7017" subchipset in
the driver. But, it is disabled because untested for now.
If you feel adventurous, you could try to enable it. To do so, first
look at http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html to know how to build
the upstream git tree. But, before actually building it, open
src/i830_dvo.c, search for "ch7017" and uncomment the corresponding
code. You should have to:
* remove #if 0 around ch7017_symbols definition
* its usage at the end of i830_dvo_drivers definition
Good luck,
Brice
