Okay, I understand no one has done this, so I'm looking for your best speculation. What are the chances of the VGA rom for the CN700 either loading correctly or working with the hacks used on the vt8623?
What hacks?
I'm talking about full X server support, with the crappy Via drivers (since Luc's don't support it).
I'd say chances are good, but it may need some help underway. At some point LANL initialized a stack of different graphics cards with onboard ROMs but lately there have been some problems with x86emu. (Maybe that's just in v3?)
You could get burned if the VGA BIOS requires lots of special interrupt services only in VIA's BIOS, then they have to be re-implemented in x86emu.
Go for it and see if it works. :)
