Subject: [PATCH v2] Report any problems with loading the VGA driver for Macintosh targets
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 09:39:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210830133945.11264-1-programmingkidx@gmail.com> (raw)
I was having a problem with missing video resolutions in my Mac OS 9 VM. When I
ran QEMU it gave no indication as to why these resolutions were missing. I found
out that the OpenFirmware VGA driver was not being loaded. To prevent anyone from
going thru the same trouble I went thru I added messages that the user can see
when a problem takes place with loading this driver in the future.
