oh, man, great idea! I always forget this because with linuxbios vga is
the last thing you get.
Attached is a (short) piece of code we used to use for this purpose, when
we were doing early work.
It is so short I hope the list does not mind -- others of you might find
it useful too. We got a lot of use out of it.
In video_init, just comment ou the vga_hardware_fixup(). Also vidmem
should probably be set to B8000.
i.e.
static char *vidmem = VIDBUFFER;
