[coreboot] Question on VGA BIOS extraction

[WANG FEI]

TP X220 suppose to have a UEFI compatible BIOS, is it possible it has a
UEFI DXE VGA driver (not sure what's the proper name of it) except a legacy
video?

Maybe you should boot up system with original BIOS and check the content in
0xC000 segment, is it a legacy VBIOS or it's empty...
