Ollie, you did it!
We should thank SciTech for their wonderful emulator.
Ollie just took a big stack of video cards, some AGP and some PCI, and booted linuxbios one at a time and showed how each video card came up.
It's fantastic.
I think the current code should support most VGA cards available in the market. I have tried VGA cards from Nvidia, ATI, Matrox and Cirrus.
I found that the VBIOS on S3 cards don't have correct ROM header. The company is dead anyway.
now, Stefan, time for openbios payload.Then we have a desktop PC that prints an Open Boot prompt :-)
After 5 years, we are finally at the point to be able to compete with factory BIOS on all market sectors.
