It's not a horrible move. What it means is that coreboot should grow a data model (have we heard that before?) to expose the relevant data to the graphics driver. For compatibility it might be wise to use the legacy VBT format. Perhaps we can do something clever with coreboot tables, like putting the VBT into a table entry located in low memory. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
