What's the actual onboard video card?

Yeah, you can kinda get it to work, I've got the same myself, but as its running OpenBSD, none of these tricks work... Open doesn't, as far as I know, have a working framebuffer console.

Check the gatos drivers:

gatos.sourceforge.net

And what the mplayer multimedia player has to say about framebuffer mode and s-video over at www.mplayerhq.hu
