Very interesting. What CPU do you have?

Yeah, this is probably due to the lack of acpi.

Confirmed. I have the same problem here, but have not been able to find out
why yet. Flashrom will *sometimes* work, but most of the time it won't. You
can tell during the flash if it is going to work or not; the speed of writing
will be too slow or too fast, or it will vary greatly. The writing speed for
a successful flash is uniform and moderately fast.

Did you add the i2c workaround in xorg.conf? I have not tried the proprietary
nvidia driver. The nv driver works for me.

Yes.

Yes. Peter Stuge was working on a patch to speedup FILO. We should revisit
that.

You can fix that with the lxbios tool; the fallback is just the default.
Thanks,
