Hi There

I am trying to write a linux framebuffer device driver for the silicon
motion lynx3DM chip. As I am stranded I looked into how Xfree86
programs the chip. Using the source I tried to make a proof-of-concept
mode switch using the low level register info from the xfree driver.

This does not work. I end up with a blank screen. The xfree silicon
motion driver however does also have a blank screen for some seconds,
before finally displaying the grayish X background.

My question are now. What does X do before one can see anything on
the screen? call some DPMS bios call? Setting some standard unblanking VGA
registers? Pointers to info would be nice.

Regards Thomas, Denmark
