Alan Cox is going to redesign the base fbdev and DRI layers. This includes the DOSEMU part for reset. I'd attach your issues to the end of that thread so that Alan can see them. This is the root of the thread http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/9/10/206 There are about 100 messages in it. The part about the VGA driver is at the very end.
