We're starting back up a LinuxBIOS port to ARM with the Xscale processors. The port should make it easier for anyone using the PXA, IXP, IXC and IOP Intel parts in the future. We're going to be looking at also supporting PCI-PCI bridges (transparent and non-transparent) and PCI southbridges that are used in the x86 PC world.
I'm interested in what, if any graphics controllers were used and supported via the PPC port of LinuxBIOS. Were any PC type graphics controllers used (eg. ATI, Silicon Motion) and how were they supported for init., driver etc.

The bridge code should pretty much just work in freebios2. A really weird bridge might need some non default routines but basically things should work.
