I
think when the Xserver startup, it will probe the videocard. but since the LinuxBIOS does not have the videobios. so the Xserver crash.
no, the problem is that the Xserver emulation of an 8086 has bugs, and
so
it crashes. There are some real problems with the X11 VGA support.
Well, for some version of Xserver for SiS chipsets, it requires register table embedded in VGABIOS image. So you need the image in the C segment anyway.
Today I try the K7SEM mb. And doesn't work with the Correct VGA display. But the Xserver works. maybe other mbs can do this.
