Is there a way of getting VGA support with SeaBIOS on the AMD Geode LX framebuffer? I have successfully built and tested a BIOS image that appears to boot into DOS but the lack of display means that it is of little use. Is there a VGA ROM image that I can include?
You'd need a VGA emulation VSA and AFAIK that piece of software is not available as open source due to an interesting rights situation.
Alternatively you could build a VGA option rom that initializes VGA on the Geode. The hardware dependent code is in libpayload already. It just needs to be integrated in something like "vgabios"

It's quite a trivial task, but it needs someone to do it.
