[LinuxBIOS] VGA help under QEMU

I am trying to boot LinuxBIOS using qemu with VGA support.  I have got 
both V2 & V3 to boot with a FILO payload and the linux test disk image 
from QEMU website using the -nographic option.

I can boot the disk image using qemu and the bios & vgabios it came with. 

I cannot get it to come up with either V2 or V3.  I have tried copying 
the vgabios.bin image to a local directory and then booting qemu with 
the -L ./ option.  I see the initial QEMu messages a blank screen 
appears that looks like the VGA output and then it goes down to a small 
block on the screen. 

I have compiled  V3 with x86emu support.  Under V2 I could not figure 
out how to get it to compile with VGA support.

Any help would be appreciated.....
