xfree86 emulation of VGA BIOS cards on powerpc platforms
Hi, For non x86 architecture, I understand that xfree86 is able to initialize (soft boot) PCI graphic cards, by emulating the VGA BIOS extension located on the graphic card. Does x86 VGA BIOS emulation for powerPC works in xfree86? We use a IBM Maple platform (CPU is a ppc64 970FX) and would like to know if we could do it.

I'm afraid it's a case of try it and see. Alan. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
