Um, this should be done by replacing a "choice" in the config with multiple booleans, so it builds several vgabios binaries. I thought about implementing this the very moment I tried to build my first seabios with vgabios enabled, but was distracted by something else and now you say you already have something almost ready... ;) Anyway, I can confirm that seaVGAbios works quite well so far, except the usual issue with Linux VESA driver (which present with bochs vgabios too). So using seabios for all this stuff appears to be a good idea. Thank you all for the great work! /mjt ___ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios

Not just a bash extension, as ksh and zsh have it too, but you are right that dash doesn't implement it because POSIX 2008 (Issue 7) doesn't require '==', just '='. [There is a good chance that the next POSIX revision (Issue 8) will require '==' as a synonym for '=', but as that version of POSIX is still several years away, you're still better off sticking to '=' for now.] -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios

It's easy enough to fix in SeaBIOS (for the next release).

This is something which prompted me to test the new release, but it gives... interesting results. WinXP guest is unable to find drivers for the video adaptor with -vga std and this vgabios.bin, not even its "standard VGA" fallback driver. The device in question is detected as "Other devices / Video controller (VGA compat.)", and its identification looks like: PCI\VEN_1234&DEV_&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_00\3&13C0B0C5&0&10 This appears to be bogus somehow, no?
