Hi,
I'd like to replace the lenovo x60(supported by coreboot)
non-free VGA option rom: I don't use it right now but that has
serious drawbacks:
* No graphics at all until the i915 kernel module is loaded (really
user unfriendly), my main motivation to replace it...
* No backlight control
* nvramtool doesn't work anymore without using the -y option (not
really important).
I've created stub in SeaBIOS(there is an attached patch for that) for
the i915 driver(it will be filled in later), however I don't know how to
run the code:
* I guess it creates an option rom that is in out/vgabios.bin and that
I've to include it trough one of the various ways(let seabios pick
it, run it in coreboot, run it in coreboot trough YABEL for
debugging etc...)? right? romheaders seem to think that the option
rom is valid(more on it later). I guess YABEL also thinks it's valid.
I guess SeaBIOS out/bios.bin.elf doesn't link that option rom inside
SeaBIOS...
* it doesn't print a thing, I've CONFIG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 and there is the
following in the driver stub:
dprintf(1, "i915vga_setup: VGA init...\n");
So I've tried the YABEL way with debugging enabled and here's the
result:
[...]
Normal boot.

It doesn't seem to print a thing...and YABEL is pretty silent and
should really not be that silent according to the YABEL debug options:
CONFIG_X86EMU_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_X86EMU_DEBUG_JMP=y
# CONFIG_X86EMU_DEBUG_TRACE is not set
CONFIG_X86EMU_DEBUG_PNP=y
