I'm working on aty128fb to make it support a Rage128 as a secondary adapter. It needs a few new minor changes to do this. My main problem is that secondary adapters are not initialized at boot. I have a program (vbios.vm86) that will initialize the R128, but instead I would like to do it when the driver loads. vbios.vm86 goes through a complicated process in real mode of emulating the system boot ROM (same thing X does). Can someone with access to the Rage128 documentation tell me how to do this from protected mode? I have the ROM mapped so the code can get to constants stored in the ROM. What I need is a piece of C code equal to what the ROM initialization does minus the part about Int10 vector setup. The programmers at ATI probably have a piece of code available to do this since ATI's Windows driver can do it. I've tried emailing and signing up as a developer without response. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
