- using the same init() method for all display adapters
- new method protected init_standard_vga() for the shared vga core
- new method init_vga_extension() implements the extended features
- moved loading of vgabios image for the ISA case from main.cc to the vga init code
--enable-vbe is now deprecated and the symbols BX_SUPPORT_VBE and
BX_SUPPORT_PCIVGA have been removed. To enable VBE support, the bochsrc option
"vga: extension=" must be set to "vbe". If PCI is present, you can assign the
"pcivga" device to a PCI slot.
* 'usb_uhci' bochsrc option replaces 'usb1'
* minor changes in the USB code
* removed old VBE i/o port registration (they were incompatible with USB)
* updated FSF address
- fixed saving user plugin options
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
- don't init / reset Cirrus extension if disabled
- store last active BPP value independent from selected vga extension (fixes possible
panic when switching from a Cirrus 640x480 mode to standard VGA)
#1159639)
- size of text snapshot space increased to 128 kByte (for all memory mappings)
- immediately return after the panic when the number of text lines is too large
to avoid segfault
- changes to the original svga_cirrus patch:
* PCI memory/mmio PnP support, some emulation and compile fixes
* ported write mode 4 + 5 and some bufixes from cirrus vga in qemu
* new graphics API, hardware cursor support, configure option added (Robin Kay)
* partial support for transparent bitblt and bitblt write mask
memory handling in memory.cc removed)
- CRTC write protection implemented
- 16-bit read access to some VGA registers added
- memory handler code now conciders the status of the A20 line
and bpp (done for the x display library)
- new switch VBE_DISPI_GETCAPS. The xres, yres and bpp registers return the gui
capabilities if enabled.
- VBE_DISPI_ID3 defined
- don't clear the VBE memory if the new flag VBE_DISPI_NOCLEARMEM is set
- vbe_bpp_multiplier for the 4bpp mode set to 1 (usually unused, but this value is save)
- maximum number of text lines changed to 100 (CGA "graphics" mode 160x100)
- size of text snapshot buffer changed to 32k (size of MDA/CGA text memory)
- removed obsolete macro CGA_TEXT_ADDR()
ATTENTION: the Elpin VGA BIOS uses a delay of 280 vertical retraces after
displaying the copyright text
- changes to the horizontal or vertical pel panning registers force a redraw of
the screen
- screen update problems in text mode fixed
- sort order of the CRT register write cases changed
If set, the screen size will be horizontally doubled in CGA and standard
VGA modes.
- doublescan feature for CGA mode 320x200x4 added
- removed trailing spaces in VBE update code
