a little more information on this issue: The XFree86 driver for the
chipset (i855GM) has some code for switching and querying active
displays that talks to the video BIOS via "int 10h".
Adapting this to LRMI (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrmi), it is
possible to query and set the active display devices. This works
without freezing the computer even when "Local APIC" is enabled.
Is it likely or at least possible that the BIOS talks to the video
BIOS when the DSDT writes to 0xB2? If so, is that something it
shouldn't be doing, or should this not cause any problems?
Cheers
Robert
