arch/i386/boot rewrite, and all the hard-coded video cards

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'm rewriting the i386 setup code in C, instead of assembly, and before
I spend a very large amount of time translating all the various
card-specific probes, I want to ask the following question...

Does *anyone* care about these anymore?

All of these are specific to cards from a very long time ago.  I am
currently planning to retain the VESA-related code, and the standard
video modes, but I'd like to avoid the card-specific stuff, especially
since I have absolutely zero ability to test any of testing them (with
the possible sole exception of the cirrus5 code, which is emulated by qemu.)

Please holler if you care...
