The problem is that for some reason we're smashing *some other video card* when it's being used via efifb. I'm wondering if vgaarb just doesn't work because efifb isn't telling vgaarb that it's using those registers (I mean, how would it even know?) The other simple option is to just not disable VGA if the card isn't primary; presumably it wasn't ever enabled. And, yes, I know that the card probably won't work at all if it isn't primary because so much currently depends on the BIOS setting up bits of the card that we can't autodetect. So, another simple option would be to just refuse to load the driver if the card is secondary... -- [email protected]
