Ah, ok. Didn't know that. So it actually makes sense to support all modes <= 7 in sercon. 4+5 are 320x200, which should be 40x25 chars, and 6 is 640x200 and therefore 80x25 chars (both using 8x8 font). I'll go add 4+5+6 and simplify the mode number checks. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
