Good evening i installed fedora 11 in my laptop Intel pentium III coppermine i'd like to flash the bios using flashrom the objectif is ( i hope) to fix a display problem - stripes on the screen, especially when i move the mouse. i tried to fix the problem with Xorg.conf and system-config-display withoot any success. Some people drived me in the french fedora forum. They invite my to join the flashrom IRC chat. for your information here a report when i launch flashrom with a terminal.
flashrom v0.9.1-r710 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel PIIX4/4E/4M", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run: flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename
Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found automatically.
i will stay connect on #flashrom as much as I can. Thank you for your help hope to hear from you soon regards guillaume de bamako

I'm sorry, we do not support flashing on laptops (too dangerous).

Thanks for the report.

This is expected on laptops. Laptops often have special undocumented flash controllers. You could send the output from "flashrom -V" to this list if you want to find out if this is a known or undocumented flash controller.
