On a teleconference on March 2, AMD said that we can have/use any of
their code (e.g. VSA sources, as I understand it) that we need, and that
that code could be incorporated into LinuxBIOS.
What is more, they said that they had ensured that they owned all the IP
associated with this code since

they really do need to fix things so that all the stuff is at AMD, not
insyde. It's confusing everyone.
Or, we can host it at linuxbios.org,
Jim,
It's great that AMD stated that they have agreed to allow use of their
VSA code during a teleconference.
Can you ask David Wahl with AMD to release all the source to the VSA
including XpressGRAPHICS and XpressAUDIO under GPL or similar license?

Dear Sir,
If you permit me answer,
VSA (Virtual System Architecture) is an AMD technology that grants the
compatibility of AMD GEODE with i386 systems. VSA is composed of
various VSMs (Virtual Support Modules). XpressGRAPHICS and XpressAUDIO
are VSMs. The following VSMs are described in

Probably we don't need them since we will use the so called native
drivers.
Thanks.
We will certainly use an fbdev driver on the OLPC system in production

OK, the GX1 code is in the main Linux kernel.
The LX code I gather is on the AMD web site,

A small word of warning, the durango
(we plan various magic which requires it); unfortunately, while there is
a fbdev driver for GX1 and LX, there isn't one yet for GX2 (ironic,

Jim,
