[LinuxBIOS] Problem with VGA initialization

indicates that the static initialization in the source didn't survive the build. I'm at r542, vgabios-cirrus.bin is a patched variant (includes the pci header), it's built using ubuntu's gcc-4.1.3(preview) on amd64. Any hints? Regards, Patrick Georgi LinuxBIOS-3.0.0 Thu Dec 13 10:57:04 CET

is a nightmare - in this case, just unloading the driver is preferred imho. Hmm.. I'm not sure how the suspend stuff works on linux, but maybe you could fake a suspend signal to the driver from your driver, so it detaches properly (and can attach again once you're done)? Regards, Patrick Georgi
