the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 38cf94b25098e4aee1f4ea16df2110140eca8222 Author: Vladimir Serbinenko phcoder@gmail.com Date: Wed May 13 09:30:09 2015 +0200
ivybridge native gfx init: Adjust state to be compatible with OPROM.
My main payload is GRUB and I load SeaBIOS as secondary payload when for some reason I want to boot windows. In this scenario SeaBIOS runs VGA oprom (SeaVGABIOS is not good enough with intel gfx). VGA oprom expects either completely uninited gfx or some special state in gmbus and software scratch registers. Provide this state.
The only alternative without this patch for such usecase is to use oprom and I'd like to avoid doing so when going my main boot path to GNU/Linux.
