  • The ASUS F2A85-M CSM is same as F2A85-M.
  • get VGA from original bios using this:

  • Add VGA bios in the menuconfig
  • If you use PS/2 de-select legacy free
  • De-select running option ROMs, leave this to Seabios
  • Use seabios as payload
  • Hotswapping has some issues (most likely USB3, disable it in orig bios before hot-flashing to coreboot). Drop a mail to mailing list if you have issues.

TODOs

  • test virtualization
  • test HDMI
  • update VERB tables
  • test suspend
