the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 428130e83955795592563393edd360fa0b17199a Author: Vladimir Serbinenko phcoder@gmail.com Date: Tue May 19 09:45:22 2015 +0200
nehalem 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.
