Hi,
BTW, is there any reason preventing updating vgabios to 0.6c version - the latest released one?
Yes. It expects some new bochs vbe interface bits being present. qemu doesn't provide them (yet), thus it simply doesn't work.
There's no compelling improvement in 0.6c and updating vgabios is not something I'm eager to do unless there's a strong justification.
Oh, there is one noticable improvement (patch attached, cherry-picked from vgabios cvs). vgabios can pick the lfb address from pci config space now. This in turn allows us to kill the lfb mapping at hardcoded address 0xe0000000 (except for isapc).
cheers, Gerd
