Hmm... Let me back up a step. I'm apparently answering a question you're not asking. Your problem is that you want to disable the internal video (and PCI header) and use external, right? Is that it?
The second problem we are facing is when initializing VGA we are executing the option roms in an emulator to keep things encapsulated. When we do this in userspace, the whole process takes round about 3s whereas in LinuxBIOS the same emulator (x86emu as used in X.org) needs 90s.
Two theories: - caching of the C segment is messed up - timing is messed up
