Today, someone sent me a patch to emulate a CLGD54xx VGA card in QEMU 
(currently ISA only card, but I asked the author to add PCI support). It 
may be a good solution for Win 9x as I won't have time to work on the 
planned Sis 6326 emulation in the near future.

Of course I agree that fixing the VGA BIOS is a good idea. A small 
question on that topic: with the SDD 7 ou 6, does Win 9x use a linear 
frame buffer ? I am asking that because the QEMU VGA emulation is 
currently much faster when a linear frame buffer is used.

Fabrice.
