Since the issue is solved on the Via Epia system, I turned back to the
AMD Geode system but for some reason, I can't get that box in
graphical mode. Whatever I use for monitor (vesa, vga) or vgasize, the
screen just turns black and the led of the monitor is blinking.
This is what pci -v shows about the VGA controller:

This is what aux/vga -m vesa -p displays about the modes:

I would expect to at least get something like 640x480x8 working...
