[Vgabios-developers] Problems with vgabios-0.6-0.6.c on Fedora, qemu-kvm, ...

[Tom London]

I've been having problems with vgabios-0.6-0.6.c package on Fedora
(both 11 and rawhide):

If I try to run "qemu-kvm -vga std" with vgabios-0.6-0.6.c, the guest
VM only appears to "see" 800x600 4bit mode, and no others.

This works just fine with the previous release: vgabios-0.6-0.5.b

System is Thinkpad X200 running x86_64.

I've bugzilla'ed this on Fedora here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501545

This includes my effort at bisecting:

address@hidden vgabios]$ git bisect good
faf2e77fad85152479a20962900370b1e266ba61 is first bad commit

    - added support for a lot more non-standard VBE modes (e.g. widescreen
modes)
    - requires latest Bochs VBE code (16 MB video memory, VBE_DISPI_ID5, VRAM
size
      in 64k pages stored in VBE register)
    - check if VBE mode is supported with current VRAM size
