awesome news!

Thanks to Luc, the VIA K8x890 based boards like Asus M2V-MX SE have had
native graphics init for a long time.

sb/via/k8t890: add vga textmode code for k8m890 chrome igp.
Add initialisation for the VIA Chrome 9 IGP on the k8m890 through native code
and through the general vga infrastructure i committed a month or two ago.
Add videoram_size option for k8m890 and the Asus M2V-MX SE.
Looking through the output of
$ git grep k8t890 src/mainboard/
the boards Asus A8V-E Deluxe, Asus A8V-E SE, Asus K8V-X, Asus M2V-MX SE
and Asus M2V should theoretically support that.
I’ll try to test it on the Asus M2V-MX SE. Hopefully some other owner is
quicker than me.
[…]
Thanks,
Paul
