Note windows (98) now configures sb correctly. Secondly, as sdl support fb on linux, I wanted to try with the accelerated driver for my card (radeonfb:mode_option=1024x768-16@72) but no success, qemu is running but there is no output (black screen), with vesafb (vga=788 video=vesa:mtrr) there is graphical output, but the keyboard is shifted, with azerty=op^$, mouse behave badly too but that worked with win guest in a previous test, could be imps2 vs ps2. Using ssh to connect to guest I must switch between console after each validation to get the output of the command, characters are not echoed when typed. Oh, and I took my first fbshot: http://daimon55.free.fr/divers/qemu.fb.gz Don't know if cat qemu.fb > /dev/fb? should works every where.
