[Xen-ia64-devel] Re: [Xen-ia64][GFW PATCH]VGA high color fix

Hi,

I have just commited and pushed your patch.

I'd really prefer to have the vga bios loaded like xen/x86, ie by qemu
(or by the hvm loader).  This will save a lot of space and avoid duplication.

I also think the ivt could be clean up.  It seems vgabios only set a few
entries (2 ?).

For the future, if the vgabios is loaded by qemu/hvm loader we could try
to initialize the vga by running the vgabios.  We of course need an x86
emulator and we could use x86emu (either the one from xfree86 or the one
of milo - the linux alpha loader).

Thoughts ?

Thank you for this work,
Tristan.
