I think we can get away with *not* supporting them.
First, the lgpl vgabios supports them only for the bochs dispi
Hi,
It's an interesting question - is it better to compile a vgabios for a
specific hardware or to make a vgabios compatible with several
different pieces of hardware. I don't know what the right answer is.
Alot of stuff seems to be shared, the size doesn't go up much:

Hi,
This adds runtime hardware detection to vgabios. Survived light (vga

Comments on the approach?
