--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.
recent version of Slirp with Debian patches applied. On a Linux host the
guest OS can access the internet without running Bochs with root privileges.
TODO:
* rewrite the DHCP part of eth_vnet.cc that it can be used here, too
* Slirp doesn't compile on 64-bit Linux with GCC 4.5
* WIN32 is not supported yet
connected device. For now this feature is only used by the 'disk' device to
specify an alternative redolog filename of some image modes.
- added new methods set_option() and timer() to the base class usb_device_c.
The timer() method is periodicly called from the HC's frame timer code.
- moved runtime device change stuff from the parameter handler to the end of
timer() methods of all hubs. This makes sure that all parameters for the
device have been set at connect time. TODO: this technique could also be used
for the floppy and cdrom media change.
- several fixes related to configurable geometry (some more tests required)
- skip MBR and boot sector image files when reading directory (still unused)
- support overriding cylinder value with 0 in the command line
- don't return failure value when reading unused sectors
- increment buffer pointer when reading more than one sector
- siminterface: added helper method hdimage_get_mode()
- moved hdimage related stuff from harddrv.cc to the hdimage code
- changed hdimage related names
the SF patch #1539417, but rewritten from scratch (patch too old). Differences
to the original version:
* internal parameter name "readonly"
* update parameter if floppy image is readonly
* wxWidgets support
* documentation updates
* no specific toolbar buttons
the default Bochs method using the CTRL key and the middle mouse button there
are now the choices CTRL+F10 (like DOSBox) and CTRL+ALT (like QEMU).
* currently implemented in the X11 and SDL guis only
* TODO: porting to wxWidgets and Win32, documentation updates
