Asus A8V-VM bios mod. Replace VGA rom
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 12:29 pm
Hi, This is my first post her so bear with me!
I just purchased the Asus A8V-VM motherbard along with a 19" widescreen monitior (1440x900)
The onboard graphics allegedly supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 but this requires vbios 2.28.00

The newest ASUS motherboard bios does not contain this vga rom. Because of this i cannot access anything beyond 1280x1024. Powerstrip doesn't work either.
What I think I need to do is hack two bioses together,
This ASUS one which I'm currently using:
http://support.asus.com/download/downlo ... del=A8V-VM
And this Foxconn one which contains the 2.28.00 vbios
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US/ser ... 1GXK8MB-RS
I want to rip the vbios from the foxcon and reassemble it into the Asus bios.
What tools/utils will i need to do this, (extracting and compiling the components of the bios) and more importantly do you think it would work?
Thanks in advance
