I want to get a 3.3V PCI card to run in VGA mode (And these days 3.3V PCI is Nvidia or ATI ). The 68K's traditionally do a switch to a frame buffer. Can anyone point out the best thread to follow to bring up a Nvidia PCI card as initial console? I see where we go to serial console.(2.6.23-cf)

Coldfire PCI going to VGA/Nvidia initial Console.

Hi I have a Coldfire V4E m54455evb with MMU that runs PCI bus. In essence this would be identical to a 68060 with PCI bus but no built in frame buffer and no math co-processor. I want to get a 3.3V PCI card to run in VGA mode (And these days 3.3V PCI is Nvidia or ATI ). The 68K's tradition
