There was a thread on acpi-devel about POSTing VGA ROM after resume:

The code does a real mode switch in kernel and execute the ROM. Ok, doing
that in userspace is more elegant, but

sysfs? I sent a patch a while ago but didn't get much feedback.
How do you atomically tie sysfs objects to fbdev and X permissions
models ?
I think the plan here is for ROM export to be implemented by the PCI
driver not the video ones since other things

Btw, how do we POST non-x86 (eg. ppc) video boards? I don't think that
there's x86 code in their ROM...
Same way X does - x86emu
I think he meant using OpenFirmware video cards on x86 boxes. Does
x86emu take care of that? In any case,
I asked this at OLS and no one knew of an open source x86 Open Firmware
emulator.
99% of the time it is people wanting to use cheap x86 cards in Open
Firmware systems to avoid having to pay $$ for those added valued ROMs.
