Nice! So this is in-LinuxBIOS VGA support? I.e. without running any VGA option ROM blob in an emulator?
This "driver" really knows the hardware, so it does not need any help from any kind of SMM.
Very nice!
I'll give it a try on my CS5530 box in a few days (no access right now).
Visit my BCOM WINNET100 Tutorial, scroll to the buttom of this document and download the Board Support Package. Extract it, you will need some patches to use the VGA console feature within Linux. Also for the Linux kernel you will need a specific console driver for the GX1, as the generic driver expects some help from the SMM. See patches/linux-2.6.22/generic for the whole patch stack, apply it to a fresh 2.6.22 kernel and build it with the igel316-kernelconfig.target as its .config. Also if you like to run X on it,
Is this scheduled to go into the mainline kernel one day? Would be great!
Please do submit it - CC to info-linux@geode.amd.com.
you will need a special driver. You can find it in the BSP in the local_src/xf86-video-geode_gx1 directory.
Same.
