Usually mode3 and/or vga_reset can solve those problems without reboot.

I don't know about the 69030, but in most chipsets which have something
like this the main CRT is programmed as in older chipsets, so you can
treat the card as it's older counterpart, losing the ability to use the
LCD port. This works for matrox, nvidia, ati cards. Maybe C&T chose to
have a completely different programming interface for their newer chip.

Not without learning the source of the chips.c driver.
