I (and my customer) want to see the screen light up at boot so I guess I need the direct vgabios support.
well, maybe. I am also working to move the emulator to become a linuxbios component. For many reasons, this is much safer than just running the BIOS directly.
But you do what that screen on boot so we will start pushing that harder.
I could use your help on this, since we do get some problems with some cards.
Will it be of use to boot the board up headless and run the emulator to see what happens?
That would be the right way to start.
I think in the long term the emulator is the way to go, and possibly in the short term too.
