Integrator/AP has PCI, and I have had PCI VGA cards plugged in to that hardware when I've had it. Provided any platform sets up PCI in a compatible way, and can run the VGA's BIOS to initialise the card, then vgacon is supportable. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
