Hello,
Is a VMWare VGA BIOS port from the original VGA BIOS project also planned?
WorksForMe[tm].
Currently I don't see any output when using the VGA BIOS. Original VGA
BIOS project version works well.
What exactly you are doing?
To build the roms you'll best start with a qemu git repo as the
configurations needed to properly build the vgabios variants for qemu
are stored in the qemu repo.
Then initialize the seabios and vgabios git submodules. Then go to
roms/. "make seavgabios" will build vgabios binaries from seabios repo
and copy to pc-bios/. "make lgplvgabios" will build vgabios binaries
from old lgpl'ed vgabios repo and copy to pc-bios/. For completeness:
"make bios" will build (+copy) seabios itself.
How do I initalize the seabios and vgabios git submodules?
# Found it: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules
git submodule init
git submodule update
# Failed due to DNS problems
BTW: Had a problem with the qemu domain:
nslookup -q=ns qemu.org
Non-authoritative answer:
qemu.org nameserver = erythros.intersec.com.
qemu.org nameserver = rouge.intersec.com.
Authoritative answers can be found from:
erythros.intersec.com internet address = 88.191.88.140
nslookup rouge.intersec.com.
** server can't find rouge.intersec.com.: NXDOMAIN
But now to the one I'm trying to use:
git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/kevin/seabios.git
cd seabios
make config
....

Finalizing rom out/vgabios.bin
I'm trying to use out/vgabios.bin
The one from git://git.qemu.org/vgabios.git is working well.
Summary:
So we have three repositories, regarding VMWARE VGA BIOS:
1.) git://git.qemu.org/vgabios.git => OK
2.) git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/kevin/seabios.git => not included
3.) Submodules in qemu tree, which point to git://git.qemu.org/vgabios.git/
Which of the first 2 repositories are maintained in the future?
Thank you.
Ciao,
Gerhard
