Just need to init to 80 x 25 color text. Load an 8x16 font and write attribute/char data at 0xB8000 in the standard fashion. That's it. I can get a register dump from the board with the mobo and PC-BIOS, assuming in alpha mode it has legacy CRTC, Sequencer, Attribute, Graphics, etc in the standard locations. But I need to know the extended register settings to enable access to these from power on. And any extended DCLK register locations/settings required. Any help you can give would be appreciated. I don't have a problem with an NDA unless is prevents publishing the source code. -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
