that was what am was talking about. i have a nForce2 and i would love to have LinuxBIOS on my PC.... but the only think i can do is w8 :(
We don't need to with nVidia, we can run their VGA BIOS using testbios.
Though in the perfect world, they'd be more forthcoming with specs so that someone can make an LB port for their nForce boards.

Really nice news... i'll keep dreaming that nvidia will do the same.
Wonderfull news... I got this back today from ATI. Looks like someone with some clout there finally gets it.
So I'm about to start porting some biosless init code I received over
to
Linux. Then work it into linux bios.
I take back everything I said bad about ATI. *grin*
Tell all your OEM buddies that ATI Mobility M1 video chips are about
to
become LinuxBIOS friendly in the near future.
Sorry for the lengthy delay. There is a lot of detail here.
Basically,
you can develop code with our documentation, and then release it under GPL - no issues there.
If you want to produce a biosless chip init procedure, you can use the documentation I pointed you to. If you have any questions, feel free
to
email me about those documents.
