I only started looking into coreboot yesterday, so forgive the incoming naivety. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to set up coreboot + seabios so that it actually uses the VGA? I've got the system up and running and talking to me over the OS's services fine, so all is working except for the VGA. I've tried the rational combinations of enabling and disabling the option roms, but I assume that I need a vgabios.bin? This board is a PC Engines ALIX3D3 (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm), and I can't seem to find any information on how to go about fixing the geode vga output.
This is my experience with it:
I still need to find the time to recover the firmware with an PLC homemade adaptor (parallel port or arduino based).

Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators."
