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.
