-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, There is some recent discussion about enabling VESA on amd64, by importing OpenBSD's x86emu (which originates from X11 and then imported into NetBSD, then OpenBSD). The x86emu code implements a virtual machine for 80386's real mode in < 9kLoC, and was ported to FreeBSD. Then, the current code for VESA has been modified to have the VESA code run inside the emulator, thus solved the problem that there is no VM86 support when we are in long mode. I'd like to give this a shoot but if there is any objections, please let me know. The patches can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.lissyara.su/users/Guest/vesa/ Cheers, - -- Xin LI <delphij@delphij.net> http://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkqcT/QACgkQi+vbBBjt66B81gCgtyHBodCx9LY5uqfGaeRYTInn w+IAoLIhhKXhIP/CHTf+AsqVZUldolIO =Rqgi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
