You'll need to build multiple times with different configurations to get the pci ids right for the various vga variants emulated by qemu. I'll have some build scripts to do that here, just need to rebase and polish them, I'll post the bits ASAP.
Do you think you'll get this out in the next couple days?
This is my plan.
Um, this should be done by replacing a "choice" in the config with multiple booleans, so it builds several vgabios binaries.
I thought about implementing this the very moment I tried to build my first seabios with vgabios enabled, but was distracted by something else and now you say you already have something almost ready... ;)
Anyway, I can confirm that seaVGAbios works quite well so far, except the usual issue with Linux VESA driver (which present with bochs vgabios too). So using seabios for all this stuff appears to be a good idea.
Thank you all for the great work!
