Subject: [OpenBIOS] success on l440gx+ ram

I forgot to put a 0x17 in reg 0x76 after the mode set command. Sheesh.

dram is now working fine. I am actually in protected mode in the 32-bit
openbios startup, getting ready to gunzip linux and jump to it.

Now the trick is to figure out why I have no display :-)

All I want for now is a vga-compatible thing, very limited in scope. So I
want the absolute minimum hardware only. Any hints would be welcome.

I want to do the absolute minimum needed to get vga mode up to display
some characters. I have no vga bios.
