One more question: Does 0xc0000 POST method work even on
notebooks? On regular machines, PCI card must have normal bios and
stuff is easy. On notebooks there was talk about "integrated bios"
where it really has no video bios at all and system bios POSTs the
card. Have you seen that? 
We have never had a need to POST a notebook Video BIOS so I don't know 
what would happen. It is an interesting question, and if this is to be 
used for resume operations something that should be investigated.
