Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] Re: Generic VESA framebuffer driver and Video card BOOT?

Hi!

The rest of the code you have above seems superfluous to me as we have 
never needed to do that. Then again we boot the card using the BIOS 
emulator, which is different because it runs within a 
protected machine 
state.

Have you taken a look at the X.org code? They have code in 
there to POST 
the video card also (either using vm86() or the BIOS emulator).

I have done some experiments with this video post stuff.
I think this should be done using x86 emulator rather than doing 
in real mode. The reason being, with an userlevel emulator we can call
it at different times during resume. The current real mode videopost
does 

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