Hi,
Thinks for your reminder!
To be more specified, our x86emu in PMON can handle i386 real mode,
however vgabios-ati uses INT15h when INT10h ax=0x4f01 (Get VESA Mode)
is called. And x86emu won't process INT15h properly.
My workround[1] is to allow 0x4f01 to be failed in PMON, as ax=0x4f02
(Set VESA Mode) do work, it won't be a actual problem.
