I was (naively) thinking that if I could access the legacy VGA register
set, I could set the graphic card to text mode and use the graphic
screen as a alphanumeric console, until linux soft boots the graphic
card . Do you think this is doable? I haven't been able to locate that
VGA register set yet.
Thanks,.
