It creates an array of strings from a string containing a comma separated list
of options. Now using this function for display library options, USB port
options and ROM image options.
is mapped to device number #2, but for the i440BX chipset we are using #8
(expected by real BIOS when testing and some timer later added support for it
in Bochs BIOS).
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
- Reading data register without result present returns the last byte of the
previous result and enters result phase just like an invalid command.
- Changed name of bit #7 of MSR to RQM (from spec) and some small cleanups.
- The X gui behaviour should be unchanged.
- RFB / vncsrv: cursor shape fixes.
- Changed format of the font parameters to fix "double width" characters.
- Restore guest charmap after leaving gui console.
- Now using text_update_common() for the new text update API in addition to the
graphical text snapshot feature.
- Drawing to snapshot buffer moved to new method draw_char_common().
- A gui using the new text update API only needs to implement the new method
draw_char(). The method set_font() is optional and it can be used to update
font bitmaps / pixmaps.
- Modified the RFB gui to use the new API. Now the VGA features split screen
and h/v pel panning are supported by the RFB gui. The legacy text_update()
method is now empty but it must be present for compatiblity.
- TODO: Implement new API in some other guis to reduce code duplication.
the flashrom project a JEDEC chip needs to be emulated here. Tests with BIOS
images designed for the i440FX chipset are okay, but for the i440BX chipset
some more commands need to implemented.
- Store BIOS ROM start address and use it instead of hardcoded BIOS_MASK.
- Added stub for BIOS ROM access switches.
- Verify checksum of legacy Bochs BIOS, too.
selected PCI chipset. When testing Bochs with a real BIOS image the programming
sequence for the ESCD unexpectedly overwrites some BIOS locations and it fails
to reboot. For the i440BX AGP chipset development it is required to test with
a real BIOS image, but currently reporting "unknown flash type". For now I have
added two stubs with unmodified behaviour.
- Access to VGA registers via Banshee address space is not memory mapped.
- Added BX_ERRORs for unimplemented unaligned access to i/o registers.
- Access to the unimplemented YUV address space now causes BX_ERROR.
- Removed some TODO comments.
- Shortcut parser sets a flag in case of error.
- String parameter handler resets to old value if the new one is invalid.
- User button handler shows a message box if the parser signals an error.
- Added support for split screen mode and horizontal pel panning.
- Text mode cursor now correctly visible independent from blink state.
- Workarounds for the existing text_update() API.
set accordingly.
TODO #1: Text mode features split screen and h/v pel panning missing for now.
TODO #2: Show error messages related to dialogs in message boxes.
- New attempt to fix the host-to-screen bitblt issue with monochrome source.
The specs are wrong at this point. The rules for calculating the real source
pitch are still unknown. These hacks should fix most the glitches.
- Added source colorkeying support for host-to-screen blt with pattern.
- Disable i/o and memory access in PCI command register before probing and
setting up base addresses and re-enable it when complete for selected device.
- Legacy BIOS should not enable busmaster function in PCI init.
- Banshee: Added colorkey support for host-to-screen blts without pattern.
- Clearing base address registers in reset is not okay. Maybe we have to
unregister i/o and memory regions here. This affects other devices, too.
- Some other small changes and typo fixes.
- Added support for "byte packed" monochrome source data.
- TODO #1: All modes except 16 bpp color source untested (based on specs).
- TODO #2: byte / word wizzling, other color orders, 24 bpp source dithering.
- Added support for undithered 24 bpp source data.
- Fixed "standard monochrome" mode in case of transparency.
- TODO: byte / word wizzling, other color orders, 24 bpp source dithering.
- Implemented screen-to-screen blt function (untested).
- Fixed and improved "Rectangle fill" function.
- "SGRAM fill" function rewritten similar to the other functions.
- TODO: cpu-to-screen function (handle data written to bltData register).
