[LinuxBIOS] XGI graphics

[Tom Sylla]

Has anyone booted the video BIOS for an XGI Z7, Z9, or Z9S GPU with
LinuxBIOS? We have a platform that mostly boots with its on-board ATI
GPU, but if we do the voodoo to make it use a plug-in XGI PCI card,
the emulator hangs running the ROM.

Thanks for any input

Tom, one good way to test this is not set up vga in linuxbios, and use
the standalone emulator under linx to see if the same thing happens.
Problems like this are often  a case of the VGA BIOS guys getting
cutesy with their code, requiring us to extend the emulator.

If only .. the expected Forth expansion ROMs had worked out ...
