I changed this part a bit, this may be nested a bit too much, but maybe I'm wrong, not sure. Either way, the version which is in svn now worked for me on the MS-6178 board, please try a plain svn checkout (r4401) and see if onboard VGA works (better) on your board.
The nesting seemed strange to me as well, but the example on the "VGA support" wiki page is written like that.
After defining CONFIG_VIDEO_MB, the VGA device appears in lspci. I haven't tried hooking up a monitor.
I noticed that you moved the subtraction of 32 KB from CONFIG_ROM_SIZE (for the video BIOS) from the mainboard's Options.lb to the target's Config.lb, although the rom_address for this space in still listed in the mainboard's Config.lb. Why was it changed? The division between these files doesn't appear to be well documented, and is inconsistent in existing targets.
+romimage "normal"
- option CONFIG_USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE = 0
- option COREBOOT_EXTRA_VERSION = ".0Normal"
- payload ../../../../payloads/filo.elf
Changed this to the generic "../payload.elf" we try to use everywhere now (but there may be more changes wrt to this when we move to kconfig for v2).
That's fine, but it would be good to document the recommended practice since it's not done consistently in the existing code.
