type vesa
do you know why vesa works with via multiprocessors?
i haven't seen it work with amd/intel. what's the difference?

For your information, it also works with my amd x2 processor.
I think it works because in (some?) dual core processors, the interrupts
are always routed to only
one of the two cores. This might not be the same for dual cpu machines.
And realmode requires interrupts to be completly disabled.
