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.)
Do you mean the SVGA chip-specific code, or additionally you are ripping
out CGA and EGA support?
Out of curiosity what C compiler will you use?
