This commit enables the external graphics card. In order to work, the internal graphic card has to be disabled, that is done in src/device/device.c through: vga_onboard->ops->disable(vga_onboard); which calls the RS780 disable operation introduced in the following commit: "rs780: add .disable pcie_ops" This commit was tested with and without the following card: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) Thanks Aladyshev for the pointer(in the #coreboot IRC channel on Freenode servers): Dec 20 19:43:32 <Aladyshev> If you list your internal card in devicetree.cb, coreboot will distinguish external and internal VGA and choose external one Change-Id: I92e59dffd158db096a6e99d1ef6e2e248fef933c Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@no-log.org> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/2067 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Dave Frodin <dave.frodin@se-eng.com> Reviewed-by: Ronald G.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads. Supported Hardware ------------------ coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Build Requirements ------------------ * gcc / g++ * make Optional: * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation) * iasl (for targets with ACPI support) * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets) * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig') * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers) Building coreboot ----------------- Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details. Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware ------------------------------------------------ If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details. Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
