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
