[PATCH 0/6] vgabios: VBE int 15h EDID information - SeaBIOS

1 Sep 2012


      Hi,
It provide Int 15h extension for VESA VBE interface of bochsvga vgabios.
A series of patch is started from Julian's proposal(*1) and implement
dynamic construction of EDID data block.
I tested it against Linux Mint 13(x86) guest on
on Ubuntu 12.04(LTS)(x86_84) KVM/Qemu with git head.
You can review changes in github. (*3)
There was a suggestion to extend API in previous discussion(*1),
but here is not one to do it.
I'm trying it but not completed(*4)
Even though it is not extend api,  QEMU can provide preferred resolution
and vgabios can generate EDID according to qemu request.
I've also worked on vgabios project, and have already proposed.(*2,5)
