Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've gotten LinuxBIOS working without much of a hitch, but I'm trying
to get the VGA console working. I've been looking through the email
archives without much success, then I found this page:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://linuxbios.org/index.php/VGA_support">http://linuxbios.org/index.php/VGA_support</a><br>
<br>
I have a Via Epia ML5000 board. My question is specific to this part,
found at the above URL:<br>
<p><i>If you want to use the onboard VGA chip, you have to do the
following in additional
to the CONFIG options described above.
</i></p>
<p><i>1. in MB Config.lb You need to specify for your onboard VGA
</i></p>
<i>device pci 9.0 on # PCI<br>
</i>
<pre><i> chip drivers/pci/onboard
device pci 9.0 on end
register "rom_address" = "0xfff80000" #512k image
#register "rom_address" = "0xfff00000" #1M image
end
end</i></pre>
<br>
Is PCI 9.0 the correct value for the Via Epia-M onboard CLE266 video?
Is there a way to find out, such as lspci?<br>
<br>
What about the "rom_address" field -- Can someone explain what this is,
and how to set it properly?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
