Hello, I'm trying to bring up VGA on EPIA board.
From the list, EPIA board is supported and I've tested with Angrew's image. However, due to full support of VGA is necessary, I'm trying to figure out ADLO to run binary only VGABIOS rom image. Can I acomplish this with ADLO?. If yes, how much extra work will be needed you think?

I'm not familar with EPIA. Wasn't that the motherboard that had all this video emulation code (whatever you would call it). what's the gfx card anyway? anyway. if you can separate out the vga bios from rest of the bios (and it can function standalone), then there's no reason why it would not work. as for "how much extra work" depends on what you want to use it for. for example IDE code in bochs-bios could use some more work (last time I looked at it). -- Adam Sulmicki http://www.eax.com The Supreme Headquarters of the 32 bit registers

Here are some links I gathered: sourceforge.net/projects/epiafb http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81 The VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard brings the industry's smallest, most highly integrated, and most flexible x86 platform to OEMs and System Integrators Measuring just 6.7 x 6.7 in. (see photo), the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard is 30% smaller than the smallest Flex-ATX platforms, while maintaining Micro ATX chassis compliancy. http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/printerfriendly.cgi?id=PD9266751279 http://www.linuxbios.org/index.html http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.linux.bios http://www.cwlinux.com/eng/products/products_sbc.php http://www.linux-eden.org/content-pages/home.html http://www.minervatech.net/reviews/silent_demo/ On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 14:13, Adam Sulmicki wrote:
