Hello,
I am working on doing a Linux BIOS on an optoma thin client "ST320" its got PS/2 mouse and PS/2 kbd connectors, two USB , 1 serial ,1 parellel and 1 VGA.Its got a DoC ...but NO IDE it used to come originally with WinCE.It uses the XpressROM insyde BIOS.
the plan is to do some sort of boot over lan(etherboot/netboot?).From whatever i dug up on the list archives it seems that the Geode is pretty much supported....but is VGA supported properly??i read somewhere that there *are* NSC drivers for the VGA..but they are buggy(or so i heard!).Also read that there exist framebuffer drivers that work....what i want to know is ...how do I get some display on this board?Is there anyother way apart from using ADLO??
i dont care if i dont see the kernel messages all i want is to start X on it.Has ANYONE got a geode running from linuxbios and showing some display?
Is it possible to extract the VideoBIOS from the XpressROM and use it somehow like in the EPIA ?? If yes has anyone done it?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
