    The link I am posting is to the original scitech code which is free to
    use. I have a bunch of versions on my local machine but none are up to
    using all of the new sysfs APIs. Looking at the sysfs calls it is
    simple to convert the reset app to use them. The reset app is already
    trapping the io/out instructions.

    Instead I have been concentrating on feeding new babies and getting
    the last two pieces of kernel support in. We still need a solution for
    VGA routing (I posted on but the design needs work) and making the
    initial user space call out.

    I would prefer to use hotplug for the user space call out but when I
    do I run into the framebuffer and DRM drivers. This having multiple
    drivers for the same piece of hardware is a pain. So hotplug on the
    standard device is not an option.

    Other options would be to directly call_usermodehelper() or create a
    temporary class device for each VGA card as it is found. The temp VGA
    device would trigger the reset app. They would be temp since there may
    be multiple ones.
