Could it be that they used ADLO? I seem to vaguely recall some work being done in that direction. Dunno if that helps.

Hello,
I am trying to build rom iamge for EPIA and finding a good way to do vga in LinuxBIOS. I found that the pc80/vgabios.c is not used for EPIA and the southbridge_via_vt8231_control is redefinde in southbridge/via/vt8231/vt8231.c and used. There is nothing about vga in that file. How does EPIA enable its VGA chip ?
