Last night, I got LinuxBios + VGA working on an Epia ML 5000. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll figure out how to get a splash logo. I'll write up my efforts as a HOWTO in the near future.
I'd like to thank everyone here for their help -- This is one of the most helpful technical mailing lists that I've been on.

can you use the linuxbios splash logo from the old V1 tree (did anyone bring it forward?) it has a nice logo and URL!
Do that writeup as soon as you can. Believe me, the bits will start leaking from your memory faster than you might like. We can sure use the HOWTOs!

Woohoo.

IIRC someone did some support for this. It was an 800x600 vesa thing I think. It was quite a while ago though.

Please, please, please make sure you follow through on this and pester us to get the info up on the wiki and in the HOWTO section of the tree.
Its the only way we can keep track of the myrid of issues and configurations that occur and continue to help. I refer to that info a _lot_ when I'm trying to help someone.

IMHO the HOWTOs and Docs should not be written by a single person, but should be developed and improved with the help of the whole community.
Would you mind making the wiki public, so that everybody here can create a wiki account by himself (like subscription to this list works) and contribute some small piece of docs, or do you have had bad experiences with an unmoderated wiki registration?
Some people would probably never try to write an e-mail to Ron or Stefan and register as a "contributor", even if they had to add some small but important facts about their particular linuxbios setup.

There have been way too many problem with jerks adding themselves to wikis and uploading viruses. We even had viruses uploaded to the tracker for a while.
It's better to have a human in the loop.
I really appreciate your willingness to add stuff to the wiki, please get an account !
thanks!

No, sorry, I'm not going to do that. For two reasons:
- wiki spammers/hackers - quality of the wiki information

Why would you think so? A lot of people write to us asking for an account to "see the secret information we hide on the web pages".
Which makes me think, thanks god they did not accidently start writing stuff in the wiki before even reading.
