Actually Ole Rohne has patch that allows you to call real mode any
time you want.

Yes. I tried Ole's patch. That helped on one of my laptops. But, on 
the other one it doesn't work. It goes into real mode but never returns.
Both systems had Radeom 9000M cards, but one with older version of the 
firmware (didn't work) and one with newer version.

IIRC, even Stefan had similar problems with Ole's patch.

It did not work for me, either, but I verified that it works as
expected if I comment out actuall call of BIOS. So the problem is not
with Ole's patch but with bios, and it may be the same if you emulate
it...

[Of course, it will not crash whole system when emulated, but system
without video is not too good, either].
