Mac are booted using the EFI runtime one of the successors to BIOS. > What is the real reason that the driver doesn't see the video BIOS? Is it > looking at the wrong address?

Legacy mode means your EFI machine will load and run a (slow) BIOS emulation. > if you can extract it with dd. This exact step happens in legacy mode.

As nice as it sounds 'fixing' would imply writing a separate KMS driver which would work entirely without the need to access the BIOS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
