I wonder if a better way to manage this is via a CMOS (aka NVRAM) setting.
No user visible configuration if it can be avoided, please.
I kind of hate to limit coreboot because Windows is limited. But I'm a n00b in a sense, having just come back onto this project, so I'm happy to be told I'm wrong :-)
It sounds just wrong to have IO/MEM decoding on the _same_ areas activated for two devices.
vgaarb should still work with one of them having resources disabled by default, I think. Otherwise coreboot would be the _only_ chance for vgaarb to work, as all other boot systems will support Windows even to the detriment of Linux support. Which means that vgaarb wouldn't exist, given their position towards coreboot.
Changing circumstances mean I get to work on it again, which is nice.
Yay!
