@ -143,18 +143,12 @@ NOTE2: Libreboot uses a *static option table* on all boards that have nvram,
|
|||
which is why you must use the `-C` option on your ROM, to change the static
|
||||
table that is baked into it.
|
||||
|
||||
On current lbmk master, graphics cards *do* work. The option to hide PEG
|
||||
devices from MRC was disabled. Now when you insert a graphics card, the
|
||||
onboard Intel GPU is disabled and the graphics card is used instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of the type of errors we got when testing graphics cards
|
||||
with IOMMU enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://av.vimuser.org/error.jpg>
|
||||
|
||||
We believe the native MRC replacement may work better on graphics card with
|
||||
IOMMU turned on. This will be enabled in a future Libreboot release, if not
|
||||
already supported.
|
||||
Make sure to configure your image accordingly.
