Since some people asked about running X in plex86: Currently, there's a simple hack to periodically copy over the text buffer area of memory to the internal memory of the VGA adapter emulation. In text mode, we can get away with this. For latched planer graphics mode (640x480x16colors), this can't work, because the memory doesn't work in a what-you-write-is-what-you-read mode. So, for this mode, we need to trap accesses to the video memory area and redirect them to the VGA emulation. I just didn't get around to doing this yet. Will do soon. Anyways, as you can imagine this will not be very efficient as each memory access would be trapped and shuttled between monitor/guest and host spaces. Ideally, a special guest OS specific driver would be written to handle video. Anyways, we'll get the graphics stuff working soon. -Kevin
