rrrrrrrr Real mode, look for VGA BIOS, and call it. I know that some of the cards turn on their clocks only at the VGA BIOS routines OS Driver is not enough. You could do that Protected mode look like Real-Mode mapping or the virtual 86 mode call VGA BIOS and back. If you wait 1-2 month I will have my hands on VGA BIOS code of one of the boards (Intel). We need to buy it for one of our projects here.

I forgot to put a 0x17 in reg 0x76 after the mode set command. Sheesh.
dram is now working fine. I am actually in protected mode in the 32-bit openbios startup, getting ready to gunzip linux and jump to it.
Now the trick is to figure out why I have no display :-)
All I want for now is a vga-compatible thing, very limited in scope. So I want the absolute minimum hardware only. Any hints would be welcome.
