You need to add

uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT

default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1

dir /drivers/ati/ragexl

after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios after vga init.

You also need to enable the btext in Etherboot. You should use Etherboot 5.2.6. it includes filo and btext console.

About kernel, you need to use kernel patch to enable ragexl frame buffer support.

Subject: Running with VGA

Hello,

I am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is running with console.

I add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200" and I have linux which runs with console.

How can I run with VGA? Should I add some code to the bios?

The VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.
