You won't see anything on VGA because the machine's RAM is not working. Which port did you use as a basis for a i965 port? i945? That one comes pretty close, but needs a _lot_ of changes, still, before it would come close to the point where you can start looking at enabling VGA..
If you want to experiment with supporting the i965 chipset, I suggest you do the following: * Get a i965 based desktop board first and get that running. * Get an Artec LPC Dongle/FlexyICE and a Stuge LPC/PLCC converter. http://www.coreboot.org/Artecgroup_programmable_LPC_dongle * Get a USB debug device for console via USB http://www.coreboot.org/EHCI_Debug_Port Best regards, Stefan -- coresystems GmbH • Brahmsstr. 16 • D-79104 Freiburg i.
