[. . . ] However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In P CI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the P CI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the P CI VGA controller responds to the Write. In this case, the P CI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. [. . . ]
