New subject: Running with VGA

13 Jan 2005


      I would change dev_initalize to following
void dev_initialize(void)
{
        struct device *dev;
printk_info("Initializing devices...\n");
#if CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA == 1
        for (dev = all_devices; dev; dev = dev->next) {
                if (dev->enabled && !dev->initialized &&
                        dev->ops && dev->ops->init)
                {
                        if( dev->on_mainboard && (dev->rom_address!=0))
continue;
                        printk_debug("%s init\n", dev_path(dev));
                        dev->initialized = 1;
                        dev->ops->init(dev);
                }
        }
#endif
        for (dev = all_devices; dev; dev = dev->next) {
                if (dev->enabled && !dev->initialized &&
                        dev->ops && dev->ops->init)
                {
                        printk_debug("%s init\n", dev_path(dev));
                        dev->initialized = 1;
                        dev->ops->init(dev);
                }
        }
        printk_info("Devices initialized\n");
}

It seems after if after cpu init do the onboard vga init, it will work.
The CPU init only do the init ECC and clear that after 1M. ... Werid! And it
is not wiped out after power off.

S2892 has onboard atirage xl
S2895 has no onboard.
With exactly the same chip and BIOS? Then probably the order
of calling device::init() does matter.

No, no problem.
Same addon card (ati rage xl) (pci) on S2895 works well.
I am confused. Are you using S2895 or S2892? And is the rage xl
on board or as an addon card?
