VIA694X System Board 29
3-2 Graphical Launch Screen (GLS)
The first ROMSmarts component, GLS, displays a graphical screen to the user
early in the boot process, as the first image displayed on the screen. This display
remains on the screen throughout the normal BIOS initialization phase called
POST.
The GLS component will replace the old text-based POST with a full graphical
screen. The screen will display PC metrics such as CPU vendor, model and speed,
memory and hard disk size.
