Re: [9fans] Has anyone run 9front on Libreboot (libgfxinit) without a VGA BIOS?

[Ron Minnich <rminnich@p9f.org>]

I'm  familiar with that kind of display trash, it usually means some
set of incompatible display setup was done ... it's fun to debug but
surprisingly easy to fix, once you see what's up.

describes the chromebook work; the 'cli' tool was very handy for doing
register testing, and was in fact how I got the earliest coreboot
support working.

The first time I finally got display, I ran the cli tool, walked over
to talk to someone about how I was never going to get it working, came
back, and realized ... it was working.

I checked and the code is still here:

LINKONLOGS is a pun: link was the first google pixel chromebook and
that was its codename.
