Any video BIOS (especially EGA) may call system BIOS functions, e.g. via the old INT10 (which will get copied to INT42). HGC and VGA are in the system BIOS. They don't need magic, but they need to be initialized on order to keep the monitor from burning. On the other hand, they used to be initialised correctly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
