Thats it. Bits 0 and 1 in the command register control access to the IO space and memory space. Setting them to 0 should disable the card. So you say when clear them that you can still get video updates on the console? Rather than use lspci -w you may want also check with -x. I've had -w and other stuff report back old settings. Like it was cached and not updated when I tweaked the registers. -x will re-read them. The command register is offset 4. > If I try to run testbios after set IO/MEM to - the result is nearly the > same as I boot with LB. Well I'm out of things to try. Now it gets ugly. Perhaps Ollie has some other suggestions. He has debugged a lot of cards. I think you are going to have to enable the printf's in the IO for the emulator and match them up with the datasheet to see what's happening. -- Richard A.
