Hello everyone,

We, Qtechnology, are the OEM of the hardware platform where we
originally discovered the bug.  Our platform is based on the AMD
Dibbler V-1000 reference design, with the latest Insyde BIOS release
available for the (now unsupported) Dibbler platform.  We have the
Insyde BIOS source code internally, so we can make some modifications
as needed.

The last test that Daniel and myself performed was on a standard
Dibbler PCB rev.B1 motherboard (NOT our platform), and using the
corresponding latest AMD released BIOS "RDB1109GA".  As Daniel wrote,
the hardware lockup can be reproduced on the Dibbler, even if it has a
different RID that our V1605B APU.

We also have a Neousys Technology POC-515 embedded computer (V-1000,
V1605B) in our office.  The Neousys PC also uses Insyde BIOS.  This
computer is also locking-up in the test.

Digging into the BIOS source code, the only reference to GFXOFF is in
the SMU and PSP firmware release notes, where some bug fixes have been
mentioned for previous SMU/PSP releases.  After a quick "git grep -i
gfx | grep -i off", there seems to be no mention of GFXOFF in the
Insyde UEFI (inluding AMD PI) code base.  I would appreciate any
information regarding BIOS modification needed to make the GFXOFF
feature stable.  As you (Alex Deucher) mentionned, it should be
functional on all AMD Raven reference platforms.

Alexandre Desnoyers
