I have successfully built coreboot-v2-3119 with a FILO payload and
booted my Asus a8v-e_se mainboard with the resulting image. However, VGA
is not initialized and I can only interact with it via serial console.
The video card is a PNY Nvidia 7900GS PCIe card.

I can boot Linux from my SATA disk normally except a few devices aren't
working, most notably the video card. Neither Linux nor the proprietary
Nvidia driver see any VGA devices. When I reflash the legacy Award BIOS
I copied from the BIOS before installing the coreboot image, everything
returns to normal and the VGA card works.

I tried to follow the wiki page http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support, so
I opened src/mainboard/asus/a8v-e_se/Options.lb. However, that file
contains the following lines instead of ones starting with "option" as
in the wiki:

#VGA
default CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
default CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1

So, I'm not sure what that means. Has the configuration method changed?
Do the default lines enable those features? During boot, I see many
initialization messages on the serial console from coreboot, but nothing
about VGA or PCI_ROM_RUN. The wiki page
http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_A8V-E_SE_Build_Tutorial doesn't have much
in the way of instructions, but it does say that PCIe video cards work.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Can you try reverting to revision 3118 (svn up -r3118)? r3119 made a change to how we detect VGA card presence, which *should* have corrected a very old bug, but might not have. Please send bootlogs (up to elfboot) from both revisions if anything changes, if not just one.
