I received more info from Lippert about Cool RoadRunner II ...

- TVOUT explanation: 

  With external graphic controller: CT69000 is connected to the PCI-Bus. 
  CT69000 provides (R) ead, (G) rean, (B) lue and the (Sync) hronisation 
  signal. At the CT69000 you can adjust (via Bat-Files, register) whether 
  you would like NTSC or Pal. These links go to the chip of Analog Devices, 
  the AD725 .Output signals of this TVOUT are "Composite" (arisen from 
  R+ G +B+Sync), S-Video-Croma and S-Video-Luma.

  With internal graphic controller: We don't know whether there are 
  adjusting possibilities for NTSC and PAL in the Companion chip (CX5530A).
  The routing (via 0 Ohm Jumpers) of the RGB+Sync signals of the 5530A to 
  the AD725 is possible and scheduled.

*****Yes you are right-->the chip is from Analog Devices-->the AD725

>    166Mhz  5v 1.20A = 6.0 watts  2.2v Geode GLXV

*****the maximum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With the new revision power
consumption is a bit lower
See attachments-->is with old revision new revision is 2.0!!!!!!!!

*****see list attached. If display is not adapted yet to display BIOS.

(They sent me an excel spreadsheet with supported LCD list ...)
http://home.earthlink.net/~wearable/CRR2_LCD_liste.xls

*** VGA BIOS adjustment:
We need for this:
1. the display send to us
2. the manual as PDF file via e-mail
Costs amount 1250.00 DM once. You get the adapted BIOS version (here you can
select your display from the system BIOS), one cable set, as well as the
cable connection plan.

*** mechanical display adjustment:
We ca also deliver you the mechanical adjustment:
An adapter board will be layouted and direct connected to the individual
display plug and mech. screwed together. The mating connector is on the rear
side to our CPU Board.
The display adapter is connected to CPU Board directly with a 1 to 1 cable
and clicks in at the two sides. A connecting plug is on the adapter board
(clicks in) for the Backlightinverter of the display. The Backlightinverter
gets connected to a cable.

- cable set contains :
1. Adapter board
2. 1 to 1 cable
3. cable to Backlightinverter
Costs of the cable set: 
At 100 piece approx. 45 EURO, at 50 piece approx. 60 EURO
