Hi all,
I am working on a project involving an epia-v box (the 533MHz, fanless ones). For our application it is important that the tv out is disabled during the booting sequence and enabled at a later point. Unfortunately, the machine's bios does not have an option to disable tv out.
Enter LinuxBios. A bios saviour is on order, and in the mean time I am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction or has experience with the following:
1. If the original vgabios is not included with linuxbios, is it possible to initialise the graphics card and tv out after booting using tridentfb/epiafb and the tvtool from http://epiafb.sourceforge.net ?
2. If the original vgabios is included, will it automatically enable tv out at boot time?
3. With the vgabios, is it possible to use vesafb?
4. Does anyone have experience with "tweaking" the vgabios, for example to disable the automatic tv detection?
Any help and/or info is greatly appreciated, Regards, Paul
