<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I noticed is that if you use legacy BIOS it
may take little longer to boot( 5-7 secs more ), but it does your initialization
cleaner and all of the devices works properly under Linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyways you can definitely get epia2 kernel which
uses vgafb and pass TVon=1 at the boot time to turn on the video
output.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>viafb works well when used as a module. For kernel
non module build you may need additional patch. I have it if you
wish.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just out of curiosity. What encoder you're talking
here ? Is it built in to EPIA board ? Can you send a link ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, Im interested in a M1000 with the <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>CLE266 tv-encoder(mpeg2)/Matrox
G550 chipset for a PVR type applications id like to use Linuxbios to boot
the system quicker, As well as boot directly into Tv-output through
DirectFB.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>DirectFB has support for calling Tv-output once booted, but I'd like to
activate it during boot can this be done with linuxbios ?</DIV>
