To be brutally honest, this was done before (http://libv.livejournal.com/19432.html), as part of my, soon, 10y old struggle to get rid of the ludicrous dependency on video bioses (it seems ludicrous now, but i once was on my own with this view). But this was on (now) much less interesting hw, namely VIA chipsets. And if only AMD hadn't lost control over ATI, we would've easily had it with discrete ATI cards too 6 years ago (as we had reduced the BIOS dependency to only a few hundred lines of board specific bootstrap code). But good to see this work being done now on recent IGPs. Luc Verhaegen. -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
