Re: Generic VESA framebuffer driver and Video card BOOT?

From: Jon Smirl <hidden>

What this means is that it should be possible to build a new version of
the VESA framebuffer console driver for the Linux kernel that will have
these important features:

1. Be able to switch display modes on the fly, supporting all modes
enumerated by the Video BIOS.

2. Be able to support refresh rate control on graphics cards that support
the VBE 3.0 services.
How is this going to work if there are multiple graphics cards
installed? Each card will want to install it's own VBE extension
interrupt.
