That you means the Xserver can run without vgabios? or we can modify the Xserver, to make it support LinuxBIOS? I am not clear with this. may be you can explain more.
it means you need to fix the x86 emulation in x11, as it has errors. Linuxbios emulator fixed the errors.
I have an idea. that is , since we don't have time or documents to write the vga driver. we can make LinuxBIOS to support the origianl vgabios. Just like ADLO, but somewhat simplify just only init the vgabios. and then jump into protect mode again. because the vgabios is distributed with mb. we can get it legally.
Already done.
