Yes, I know, :(
But the laptop hangs in SMM mode if _DOS is set to 1.
Something strange is that windows works well on this laptop.
This makes me doubt if windows set _DOS to 1 by default.

In fact, the SMM code may polute the video native register.
This may hang the system when there is a native video driver loaded.
Linux needs to set _DOS to 0 so that the native video driver
can switch the display instead of BIOS when X is running.
