Ron,
You need to set the REG in some special position. Because ht_scanbus, may reset some regs according to it's scan result.
I think the best to use VGA is 1. LinuxBIOS init critical regs to make sure VGA can be used in Linux kernel. 2. Linux Kernel does the special work to make use some acceleration function works. 3. Let X Server no changes.
Regards
YH.

Do these registers maybe want an LDTSTOP_L or a reset asserted to become significant?
ouch. maybe.
Are you sure your other operations do access the VGA ports at all and don't operate on the graphics device directly?
These are operations that access 0x3cc and other legacy vga stuff, and they're not getting to vga ...
I got an S2880 up with VGA by using the ATI biosless patch for 2.4.x done by some SGI guy. That is not really flexible, but it helped me to see light for the first time in LinuxBIOS
The right solution. We're doing the wrong solution (running the VGA bios) because VGA people won't let us do the right solution.
