This stuff is highly confusing in coreboot, sorry. Please post your
current patch against svn (all changes you made to any files).

Also, where did you get your VGA ROM from? Using which tools (awardeco,
amideco, phnxdeco, other)? How big is it exactly?

I hope we can post a patch for you which should build a working
coreboot.rom where you can prepend the VGA BIOS with enough information.

Don't mess with XIP_ROM_SIZE, that's not what you want.
