It should be possible to get a VGA driver - the coreboot folks are booting on the OLPC today. Seabios adds all the "dos interrupts" - so it shouldn't need anything from openfirmware. You will want the PIR and ACPI tables - hopefully the next openfirmware will have that. > If you are interested about such issues and wish to work on these > issues, I suggest you read the dev.laptop.org wiki about insyde bios, > linuxbios and openfirmware.

Linuxbios is now called coreboot. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
