Adam Agnew has pointed me at a frame buffer driver for the ATI Rage XL that should be capable of initializing the card without bios support. If that works we have an even better solution.
That's been my hope all along -- that we could do this. But nvdia has made it clear, again and again, that they won't play, and nvidia is too important to ignore.
Right. However I think we can start setting the precedent that onboard video is handled via open source code. Plug in video cards are an entirely different problem.
