[Qemu-devel] selecting a sparc framebuffer from command line

[Artyom Tarasenko]

It looks like we will have more framebuffers beside TCX in the near future.
One way to use them would be to make new machines combining a base
machine name with a framebuffer name, like ss5tcx and ss5cg3, but I
guess this would produce too many machines if we have more than 2
framebuffers.

Should the "-vga" option be (mis)used for selecting a framebuffer?
They are not called "VGA" in the wild, but maybe the name VGA is
obvious enough for a modern user? After all there is already a "-hda"
option in the SPARCStation-5 emulation command line, although in the
non-emulating world no one calls scsi disk "hda".

Or should an architecture-specific option, like -framebuffer be added?
