It is probably necessary to get this working with VESA to have much of a chance of it helping, since otherwise only the basic VGA registers will be saved and restored. One possible reason for the vm86 crash is that it appears our VESA code cannot handle saving more than 4k of state data. Does it make any difference if you revert the part of the patch that changed STATE_MOST to STATE_ALL? i.e. change the two uses of STATE_ALL in vesa.c back to STATE_MOST. I found that with SAVE_MOST, I needed to switch to X and back before the console would display, but the backlight did come on immediately. Ian
