You won't be able to use an LCD controller to control a VGA display...

The following link may be useful:

http://www.altera.co.uk/support/refdesigns/sys-sol/computing/ref-niosii-vga.html (http://www.altera.co.uk/support/refdesigns/sys-sol/computing/ref-niosii-vga.html)

It discusses the use of a Nios processor with a VGA controller peripheral.

However, Quartus doesn't come with a VGA controller peripheral. You'll still have to find one... ...or write your own.:eek:
