Hello,
I have finally successfully flashed the BIOS on my T60 with coreboot.
Sadly, my ATI controlled screen remains completely black. Fortunately I
can still get in via ssh. Here is what I can deduce so far.

The vgabios which I extracted from the factory bios reports as follows:
Image 1:

This looks like the right VGA BIOS to me.
Once I have added it to the coreboot image I can check the contents as
follows:

I would be most grateful for any suggestions as to where I might be
going wring or further diagnostics.
Thanks,
