BIOS execution is provided through the `v8086` module, which provides software emulation of an 8086 processor. It is not currently working with some BIOSes and may (read: probably will be) replaced with another emulator (x86emu comes to mind) at some point in the near future. In the meantime, the default video mode for QEMU works with this and it's enough to get us on real VESA instead of fake VBE. The `bochs` module will be renamed in a future commit. Userspace programs have been adjusted to work at bitrates other than 32 *POORLY*. If you write pixels left-to-right, they should work fine. They only work with 24-bpp otherwise, and then you need to be careful of what pixels you are writing when, or you will overwrite things in other pixels. You may pass a commandline argument like the following to set display modes: vid=vesa,1024,768 Or for stranger modes under QEMU or Bochs, use the bochs VBE initializer: vid=bochs,1280,720 Note that the address of the linear framebuffer is still found via hackish probing instead of PCI or trusting the VBE information, so if you have things in the wrong memory ranges (0xE0000000+), be prepared to have them get read. Once again, this entire commit is a massive hack. I am happy that it worked, and I will continue to make it less hacky, but in the meantime, this is what we've got. Happy holidays.
