Well, I think the only thing this code does at this point is confusing people. I also have a small compatibility story: seabios got build-in serial console support a while back. We never managed to add some kind of automatic switch-over from sgabios rom though (there only is a sanity check to make sure they are not both active). So the code got little actual usage for quite a while. Roughly five years later qemu and libvirt did a hard switch-over from sgabios to the seabios build-in serial console. No compatibility problems. The qemu versions which depend on this code are more than ten years old meanwhile ... take care, Gerd _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list -- seabios@seabios.org To unsubscribe send an email to seabios-le...@seabios.org
