5.Basic Initialization Procedures

5.1.Initialization Sequence

The initialization of graphics driver resources can be broken down into three categories: hardware detection, frame buffer initialization, and hardware register initialization. Each category is discussed in more detail in the following sections.

In all discussions that follow, there is a basic assumption that the graphics adapter has completed the power-on video BIOS initialization or video BIOS reset. Therefore, the adapter is in a known state and will respond in compliance with the VGA and VESA specifications.

5.2.Hardware Detection (Probe)

Most operating systems will probe for installed devices. The Intel 8281x family of devices advertise their presence in PCI space by using unique values in the PCI VendorId and DeviceId locations. The following table lists the device IDs used to identify the members of the 8281x family of graphics adapters.
