Do you mean a linuxbios vga text console? I have the code to set the legacy registers to start VGA for a vga console, integrated into linuxbios, working on two different integrated chips, the stpc cpu/chipset, and the sis 630 chipset. It sets the registers for 640x400 std text vga, and also 640x480x4 graphics. I was working on the display of a .pcx graphics file when I had to get onto something else, but it was all working the last time I tried it. You are welcome to the code if it would help. AFAIR the EPIA is the PLE133/vt8601a, which has legacy VGA registers. All you need usually is legacy plus a "few other settings" to get text and/or simple legacy graphics going. The "few other settings" can be bitch, though. -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
