If i have the rom image for the graphics card rom, can I load that into linuxbios?
Maybe.
There are 2 methods of doing VGA bios with LB. Both of these methods are for v1. I can't speak for v2 since I haven't made the switch yet.
Method one is to enable the real mode IDT stuff that sets up a 16 bit enviroment and jumps into the vgabios. I've attempted this but never took it far enough to actually make it work. Search the archives for 'vgabios' or 'vga bios' and you should find lots of posts describing what to set.
The second option and the one that I'm most familiar with is using ADLO. ADLO is a glue layer to the BIOS used int the bochs project which attempts to set up a legacy BIOS enviroment.
Using ADLO and Bochs, I've made LILO and several vgabios's work under LinuxBios with our Intel 440bx chipset.
What chipset are you using?
