Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] fbdev: tdfxfb: Manually boot unbooted cards
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 21:19:12 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731121915.3362232-4-daniel@0x0f.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731121915.3362232-1-daniel@0x0f.com>
If the card is detected as being unbooted it isn't too difficult
to use the config table in its BIOS to fire it up so do it.
