When i used to have a bvision on my ppc card, I could output native screenmodes on it.


No, you couldn't. This was a fake. The boot monitor was *copied* to the gfx card, not displayed on it. This is a feature of the PPC firmware. AFAIK it also works for the grex PCI board with a Voodoo installed(because it is from the same manufacturer).

You could ask Ralph Schmidt to work together with Elbox in order to adapt the PPC firmware for the Mediator. This probably would also mean to add Elbox' pci.library into the PPC FlashROM which makes it possible to boot from a hdd controller installed in the mediator. Erm, do you see the utopia ?
