I think that's the one, yes. I "only" needed fbdev support so I tried it and it worked well. (Yes, with the VGA BIOS.) Is there another way to get fbdev that you recommend?
Not, yet, one day, maybe :)
Does xf86-video-unichrome also work on the plain EPIA by the way?
No, that's a close relation of the trident family.
I can of course insert a full modesetting system, but that will mean doing things like EDID parsing and cvt modeline generation in linuxbios. And this will all be getting rather big rather quickly.
Does it have to be done at runtime? A compile time option for graphics mode and output would be a really great feature too.
It would require runtime configuration. People should not rebuild their BIOS to change, say, monitors.
But then, i prefer to spend time on a full featured FB driver instead.
