  Hi,

When following this argumentation the vendor id sanity check shouldn't
be there in the first place ;)

The sanity check is simply there because I had no test case
which patches the vendor id. How could I test with vga bios?

No trivial way as the vgabios needs to be patched to handle that.

patchrom branches available now:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~kraxel/vgabios/log/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu/log/?h=patchrom

very short instructions:

(1) fetch+compile vgabios, copy new vgabios-pci binary
    so qemu can find it.
(2) fetch qemu, apply/merge id patching, compile qemu
(3) both standard and vmware vga should happily work
    with the same vgabios binary now, including vesa
    graphic modes.

cheers,
  Gerd


Hi Gerd,

a new patch which also modifies the vendor id will follow
immediately. Perhaps you can try it with your modified vga bios.

Cheers,
Stefan
