Hi René,

i've got a slightly newer version; mainly with few bugfixes around
2d mode, a stubbed 3d instruction decoder.

however the main problem which i'm kind of stuck on, is the programmed
units (which is the most important 3d part), which involve having a
x3100 assembly decoder & interpreter. i don't believe this part is hard,
but the question is what to do with the instructions at this point :)

in the Intel driver, you can find thoses programs in file with
extensions g4a (assembly mnemonics) and g4b (encoded version).

anyhow, I can send you an updated version if you're interested, and i'll
be glad to discuss more about it (probably offlist to not bore qemu's people).

Cheers,
