[LinuxBIOS] Geode Utilities and Tools

[Brian Rhodes]

They have Cyreg and loadreg for 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels

For 2.4 and 2.6 they have flashrom.  The 2.4 version doesn't work very 
reliably on our reference design.  There are a few other tools including 
a register tool used by flashrom available.

I'm curious if anyone who has used the xpressrom BIOS for the 
sc1100/sc1200 has tried setting up > 4MB of video memory.  Or is there a 
pitch limitation?  I don't know how the memory for VGA is aligned.
