- Treat VGA extension name other than "none", "vbe" or "cirrus" as a VGA
compatible device plugin and try to load it.
- Added new plugin type PLUGTYPE_VGA for such a plugins (interally handled like
a core plugin).
- Added panic in devices init for the case no VGA compatible plugin is present.
- Added new method vga_redraw_area() that handles the non-VGA and null size
case. The specific method redraw_area() is called otherwise.
- Moved init_systemtimer() call from extension code to init_standard_vga().
- TODO: Implement VGA subsystem in the Voodoo code to test the new feature.
Voodoo Banshee 2D accelerator code needs to be written to make this really
useful.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and all connectable
USB devices.
- Moved USB device base class and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading USB device plugins in usb_common.cc.
- Created separate plugins for each USB device implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_USBDEV.
- Added entries for the non-plugin case similar to the network and sound stuff.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved network module base classes and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading network driver plugins in netmod.cc.
- Moved shared networking code used by the 'vnet' driver and 'bxhub' from
netmod.cc/.h to new files netutil.cc/.h.
- Created separate plugins for each network driver implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_NETWORK.
- Renamed OSS sound driver files from soundlnx.cc/.h to soundoss.cc/.h.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved common sound code, base classes of sound drivers and the dummy driver
to the Bochs core. Now loading sound driver plugins in soundmod.cc.
- Created separate plugins for the platform/library specific drivers and the
"file" driver.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support now plugin type PLUGTYPE_SOUND.
- Changed the name of the entry point of the gui plugin code to
lib{gui_name}_gui_plugin_init(). It is used when loading plugin with the new
type. Added gui init code for the non-plugin version in plugin.cc.
- Some related changes for the "wx" case.
- The function load_and_init_display_lib() now only returns 1 on success.
- Minor other changes.
- Removed unused functions and declarations.
- Removed unused command line argument handling.
- TODO: Modify the "plugin_init" and PLUGTYPE_* definitions.
that is a part of the libtool package. Updated Makefile dependencies.
TODO: check if we can get rid of the ltdl*.* files (this would be possible if
the ltdl library is always available if libtool is present).
nearly all cases and plugins that depend on others. These plugins cannot be
managed with 'plugin_ctrl' (e.g. keyboard, harddrv, pci_ide). Store the plugin
type in the divice structure for compatiblity with the "no-plugin" compilation.
Call the device methods init(), reset() and after_restore_state() for each type
separately in the order: stanard, optional, user. This also affects the status
bar LED feature: now the keyboard and harddrv LEDs are always visible, but
those of optional plugins may be invisible if there is no space left.
- TODO #1: add the devices 'ne2k' and 'sb16' to 'plugin_ctrl'
- TODO #2: manage core plugins with the device plugin system
turned off. Removed workaround code from devices.cc.
- removed 'pci_ide' plugin from the optional plugin control, since it depends
on the presence of 'pci' and 'harddrv'.
- define types for plugin init/fini functions
support compiles and links fine and the main object files for the plugin DLLs
are created. Since the gui and iodev makefiles are not ready yet, the link
stage must be done manually. Support for the search path defined in
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH should be added when the DLL plugins compile and work.
