Well, the '-a' quirks not working on x86_64 - that does not surprise me at all. IIUC, it is somehow surprising that they work on i386 at all, because of 16bit BIOS code <--> 32bit mode kernel, isn't it? And vbetool stuff workin in one arch but not another might be due to LRMI (i386) vs x86emu (x86_64). Some people (Steffen Winterfeldt) told me to always use x86emu, even on i386, but Matthew some time ago suggested that there still might be problems in x86emu and that LRMI might work better. So if we really have a machine where x86_64 works with vbetool, and i386 does not, switching i386 to x86emu would be an option to test, unfortunately the other way round is not an option on x86_64 :-( (removed Hendrik-Jan from Cc, since he's probably not too interested in our techno-babble ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
