AFAIK the XFree86 driver uses BIOS calls for mode switching. But intelfb seems to do it properly. And the notes on the website support this. Apparently it's only implemented for analog displays. Oh and the driver seems to use DMA for fbcon acceleration. -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/
