Any chance I could get EGA working with more than 25 lines?

Sure, the memory organization of the extended text modes (be it the standard 80x50 mode or any VESA extended text modes) is essentially the same.

The code would have to be generalized, as there is no explicit text mode setting implemented in the bootstrap code and the 80x25 resolution is hardwired in various places, but it is doable.

That is going to be difficult, with basically no output available. :)

Just set the console_override variable to true (in kernel/generic/src/console/console.c) and you can use the kernel console for any debugging output without being locked out by the kfb driver.


M.D.
