And this is not to say I'm opposed to do a payload that calls the BIOS to do vga init. Primarly I just don't think it make sense to create yet another standard for binary only firmware modules. And since I want to be multi platform openfirmware looks more portable, than being pcbios compatible. If we can succsessfully call the vga option rom on x86 to get things working that sounds like a good hack to me. I just don't see how we can keep it up on alpha && ia64 && hammer && ppc &&... Eric
