+ port acer aspire 5738 to coreboot (gm45)? (and then libreboot). EC is the main blocker (no support in coreboot yet).
+ ME isn't an issue, because its GM45 so it could be removed (it looks like this machine might also be shipped in
+ non-descriptor mode by default, like the roda rk9).
+ Search <b>jv50 block diagram filetype:pdf</b> for schematics.
+ (jv50 is written on the board); noone seems to have found any documentation for the EC chip, but
+ maybe it could be sufficiently reverse engineered via serialice and ectool.

Commit 26ca08caf81ad2dcc9c8246a743d82ffb464c767 in coreboot, see the while (1) loop that
waits for the panel to power up on i945. This is an infinite loop if the panel doesn't power up.
