if you ever want to get open-source gfx init running instead, let me know. It 
would only need a few more lines to force a specific mode with libgfxinit, 
maybe that is enough. And as you run the VBIOS ROM within coreboot, you are 
probably not interested in a resident VBIOS, are you?

What mode is this 4116? Are you sure, you need this specific mode? Are you 
sure, your panel supports it? Sometimes, you need to specify a VBIOS (maybe 
even VBT) specific code to use the panel's native resolution.

[Subrata] VBE: resolution for 4116:  1024x768@16. Its depends on your panel 
support and VBIOS support.

I don't think coreboot should halt here. Problems with the graphics are 
non-fatal.

[Subrata] Please have a look at https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/34284. 
What I found was sometime Coreboot tries to fixed a mode which might not be 
supported by that VBIOS hence we might see issue during payload and further 
because it would try to map display to 0 resolution if mode set is not correct. 
Hence I had listed the supported VESA mode in debug print. If you could try to 
use supported one, it might work.

Nico
