as of today, David Hendriks built a BIOS for EPIA with SONE's freebios 
source tree, and the VGA is working fine. I think there's literally one 
bit left to find.

We are now trying to see why our latest CVS does not work, but we're very 
close with this. It's going to turn into a diff -r.

Hang in there.
