Our board has 2 video chips on the PCI bus and for Xwindows to be able to use the head I have to init it from the bios. X (even 4.3) has issues with our setup because there is only one copy of the video bios for both chips and I haven't been able to make X go look for the bios in the right location. Plus I need the head to come up early for field service reasons.
The way we did this under our old COTS bios kit was
enable IO on head 1 call vga bios disable io on head 1 enable io on head 2 call vga bios disable io on head 2 enable IO on head 1
Then all is well with X.
I found the vido init part of ADLO/Bochs and ported the PCI_[WRITE:READ]_CONFIG_DWORD macro from linuxbios but when I call it the system hangs. Currently I'm down to just re-writing the IO bit in the config register of the already active head and it still hangs.
Perhaps I don't have my device IDs correct? Can someone verify that if I want to read and write to the PCI command register and lspci lists my 2 video heads as 0:12.0 and 0:14.0 that the corresponding values I should load into eax before calling the macros are:
12.0 0x9010 14.0 0xa010
Other than that is there prehaps some freaky 16bit real mode issue thats busting me?
