Subject: [Qemu-devel] [VGABIOS PATCH 0/6] make vgabios usable as pcibios
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:45:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282214747-9190-1-git-send-email-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)

  Hi,

This patch series creates vgabios versions for all qemu vga cards
(including the upcoming qxl graphics card).  The only difference between
the various vgabios binaries (except cirrus) are the PCI IDs.

The PCI IDs are used to build a proper pci option rom header, so seabios
will happily load the bios from the pci option rom bar.  Today only
cirrus works this way, with these patches applied stdvga and vmware can
be switched over too.

The PCI IDs are also used to lookup the address of the framebuffer in
the pci config space.  This is the first step to get rid of the magic
bochs lfb @ 0xe0000000 for all vga cards except isa-vga.

The patches are also available in the git repository at:
  git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~kraxel/vgabios pcibios

Gerd Hoffmann (6):
  Makefile cleanup
  Add defines for PCI IDs.
  Add qemu stdvga pci bios
  update pci_get_lfb_addr for vmware vga
  Add qemu vmware vga pci bios
  Add qemu qxl vga pci bios
