X does it on the cards using VM86 mode. X is a user space app. I want to do it from the framebuffer device driver. VM86 mode is not accessible from a device driver. I have a user space app (500K) that does the reset. Non-86 platforms are forced to use an x86 emulator to reset the card. X Windows has an X86 emulator embedded in it for this purpose. It is just so pointless carrying around and maintaining tens of thousands of lines of code simply to reset video cards. We can add the same reset code to X and get rid of the real mode emulation for the ATI cards too. > Of course he could :) I would do something like > that I were him. It > shouldn't be too hard.

Desktop, mobile, TV tuner, US, European, TV OUT, DVI, etc. I would need one of each to do the reverse engineering. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
