I've been on IRC for a GFX output issue on Friday. Actually the output is always black or full of non sense square on the screen. I have tried two graphic cards and in this respect it is fair to point the issue outside of the vgarom.

How did you obtain the vgabios? Is this a vga adapter built-in to the motherboard, or one on an external card?
For vga adapters on external cards, one should not add the vgabios to CBFS - SeaBIOS can extract the vgabios directly from the card.
