Add initialisation for the VIA Chrome 9 IGP on the k8m890 through native code and through the general vga infrastructure i committed a month or two ago. Add videoram_size option for k8m890 and the Asus M2V-MX SE. Now the Asus M2V-MX SE will magically come up with a working standard VGA 80x25 textmode. Many thanks to the people who worked hard on the Asus M2V-MX SE, and all of its components; this vga bringup was a breeze thanks to your hard work for this excellently supported board. And separate thanks to Rudolf Marek for spurring me on and for providing a register dump.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel or a bootloader. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make * python * perl Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Documentation for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------- If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
