The VGA Bios has to be extracted like Jun said:
# dd if=/dev/mem of=video.bios.bin.4 bs=1 count=65536 skip=786432 786432 is 0xc0000, and 790528 which Nich told is 0xc1000.
So, wich one using? 786432 or 790528?
the extraction of the video BIOS with
#dd if=/dev/mem of=video.bios.bin.4 bs=1 count=65536 skip=786432
is the correct one.
I haven't tried X yet.
Oh yes please tell us, thx! Please also complete wiki for this motherboard ;-)
Just ran X.org (Debian 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10) with the via drivers at 800x600 and it looks good but I haven't done any performance testing or higher resolutions. The vga and the vesa driver did not work at all.
