so I have changed the target folder from sis/churchill to gigabyte/2761gxdk.
Do you still wish to keep the sis/churchill board in the tree? Is it just an internal design, or a reference design that your customers could be using? If your customers work with the design too, I think it is a good idea to have both the churchill board and the 2761gxdk board in the LB tree.

legal dept. but not complete. Could you wait for some days?
No problem. This is great news! :)
As has already been indicated we would also be interested in native initialization of the graphics hardware. Can you comment at all on that subject?
The reason for this interest is that the VGA BIOS is run inside an emulator in LinuxBIOS, that is slow and usually not the best solution, but so far it is the only way we have been able to initialize most graphics hardware. (There is one exception; ATI RageXL, which has native initialization support in LB.)
I will release a new tarball with sign-off as soon as possible when it ready.
If you send a patch against svn HEAD rather than a complete tarball you can expect faster response from more people on the list.
If it's not practical for you to produce the patch yourself we can and will help you with that but it may take slightly longer before you get comments back.
