:I did some research on this and am convinced that at least some video cards
:would work as memory buffers for KTR logs. Specifically, someone mentioned
:to me yesterday that their Matrox Millennium II flashes the X desktop
:during startup from a previous invocation across warm boots. (I pursued
:some alternatives and found the PCI RAM cards to be prohibitively expensive
:(more than $700), and sound cards to not have enough RAM except on old
:SoundBlaster AWE cards.)
My Voodoo 3 2000 does the same thing... crash, reboot, bring up X,
and the original pre-boot display flashes before X reinitializes
the screen.
