Looking at the code, I'm a little confused how it's supposed to work. AFAICT, unless there's a DMI match, then the driver will only load ifthe boot code sets VIDEO_TYPE_EFI, but nothing sets that. Should there be something that looks at EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE to find the frame buffer? (Does that not work on Apple machines?) --Andy
