Hello,
So I've got the epia800 working with the original BIOS that was
extracted from the original BIOS. I've been looking over the code that
was submitted, and as well as the difference between register settings
on boot with regular BIOS settings and LinuxBIOS settings. I have been
trying

More than likely, since a framebuffer driver made for epia vga must have
intimate knowledge of the chipset, so it should completely initialize it.

Hmmm... this is strange. Has anyone used HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER option
without VIDEO_CONSOLE and gotten that to work? The only difference is
the 0xFB chipset register, however, the setting I use matches the Award

Both HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER and VIDEO_CONSOLE set 0xB0 to register 0xFB

With only this setting, if I run the factory VGABIOS, it does all
the rest of configuation to VGA (and TV encoder also), and
I can use epiafb, or even X, with TV-out,

And HOWTO on these last steps, with sample kernel .config, is most

I have a few questions regarding the changes you made. I have an
epia800 board. I altered the epia.config / HOWTO instructions to boot
filo. Once that worked I added to the filo payload the vga bios
extracted from the normal bios while running. Now I've applied this
patch and I'm trying to

I'm also wondering if I NEED the vga bios extracted still?
The mod's that I made are for using vga without any vga bios by directly
writing the chipset registers and legacy vga registers to put it in
legacy vga mode. But it is only for text mode, so if you need extended
Just wondering, have these changes been merged into the freebios tree?
I've been having sporadic VGA problems on my epia800 and wondered if I
had the latest or if I should start taking a peek at what is not
working..?

I finally got the epia 800 (vt8601 chipset) direct register vga working.
The diff is short, so I attached it.
I tried this tonight and it's working on my EPIA 5000!
Thanks for the great work.
However there is some issue.
we will test and commit if it all works.
I think I'm going to try to get the emulator fixed and long term go with
that, but these fixes are needed for the emulator too.
