Hi, This looks legit for me, I don't know why it does work, perhaps it write to the other video card ? > BTW, I cannot switch to terminal from X after starting with Grub2. Yep, this is normal.

X would reset gart, but after it exits, the original gart address is restored and which would cause problem. -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
