And here too.
I think I already suggested to take the VGA/VESA BIOS
http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/ from here (LGPL)
Excellent! Thank you for offering to help!
If the hardware OGD1 is VGA compliant this will work with that BIOS image out of
the box. I already tried to use this ROM image in VM86 and post my video card
with it and it seems to work.
So, we may use this project to get the classic VGA struff working and then glue
VESA VBE to it. I think the LGPL licence should not be a problem.
Yeah, LGPL will probably be okay. With a BIOS, since it's usually a
stand-alone thing, it won't probably be a problem. However, with
kernel and X11 drivers, we have to be careful to be as broadly
compatible as possible with different OSs and such. We want people to
be able to rip code and put it into another system without worrying
too much about licensing.
