commit 744fd13f3cbbdbe85288238a79f1a3d2f87e425b Author: Timothy Pearson tpearson@raptorengineeringinc.com Date: Thu Feb 5 10:47:40 2015 -0600
payloads/seabios: Enable SeaVGABIOS option if native text init supported
SeaVGABIOS supports both the coreboot linear framebuffer and native EGA text mode. To use SeaBIOS interactively on standard VGA hardware a VBIOS is needed; SeaVGABIOS is one such option.
TEST: Booted KFSN4-DRE with XGI Volari Z9s and SeaVGABIOS. Was able to interact with SeaBIOS and comboot menu, then booted Linux successfully. VGA display was continuously usable from power on to Linux login.
