For emulating the Voodoo Banshee or Voodoo3 adapter, the vga extension option
must be set to "voodoo". Using a different primary display adapter and a
Banshee compatible device with it's VGA interface disabled is not
implemented yet. Both Banshee and Voodoo3 currently need a specific external
VGA BIOS, since a Voodoo extension for the LGPL'd VGABIOS is not written yet.

of the LGPL'd VGABIOS with Voodoo Banshee specific code called

for the Banshee PCI model, but Bochs modifies the VGABIOS data after loading
