I added both 695 and 693 types.

Hi list,
I just checked out a fresh new version (2100) of LinuxBiosV2. Epia-M builds (default-config) and boots with VGA.
The VGA Bios has to be extracted like Jun said:
# dd if=/dev/mem of=video.bios.bin.4 bs=1 count=65536 skip=786432 786432 is 0xc0000, and 790528 which Nich told is 0xc1000.
I haven't tried X yet.
Nice work and thank you all for your help.

which motherboard/processor do you have exactly? mine is M10000 / Nehemiah 1GHz VIA stepping 5.

So, wich one using? 786432 or 790528?

My experience ended up with 640x480x4 (this is maximum!). X-driver is "vga". Unfortunately VBE Video BIOS couldn't be detected by Xorg.

I still can not run X yet. You do same stuff after booted with Linux BIOS and check if you can get same BIOS image as you burned to your flash chip. Anton Borisov noticed same thing, but in my test, the BIOS image is different!. I am guessing this could be the cause. Try it.

the extraction of the video BIOS with
#dd if=/dev/mem of=video.bios.bin.4 bs=1 count=65536 skip=786432
is the correct one.

Just ran X.org (Debian 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10) with the via drivers at 800x600 and it looks good but I haven't done any performance testing or higher resolutions. The vga and the vesa driver did not work at all.

You mean you ran X? then you are the second guy to run X on EPIA-M.

thanks!
