Have you looked at the new PCI API for ROM access in the -mm tree yet? It is in the bk-pci patch and should be going into linus' tree sooner or later. It will allow you to get rid of some common code in a lot of the fbdev drivers. pci_map_rom/pci_unmap_rom It also tracks the boot video card. pci_map_rom for that card returns a pointer to the shadow ROM copy at C0000. That let's you transparently get to laptop ROMs that are stored compressed in the system ROM. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click
