Looking through the output of

the boards Asus A8V-E Deluxe, Asus A8V-E SE, Asus K8V-X, Asus M2V-MX SE and Asus M2V should theoretically support that.
Okay. The SeaVGABIOS implementation is expecting a coreboot table (LB_TAG_FRAMEBUFFER). So, as long as that is present it should work.
LB_TAG_FRAMEBUFFER is present only if display is placed in graphics mode, otherwise EGA text mode is assumed. EGA text mode is much easier to make use of (including for oprom) and more compatible than graphics counterpart. Lenovo X201 init makes use of EGA text mode as well.
The SeaVGABIOS code I published is looking for a graphics framebuffer.
