Could someone explain the different VGA options with LinuxBIOS?
I've read the testbios FAQ items. This seems to be a utility program
that can be run after the system comes up to initialize a VGA card. Then
I suppose one could open an X window.
Then there are several LinuxBIOS Options that mention VGA:
VGABIOS_START
PCI_VGA_RAM_IMAGE_START
CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA
CONFIG_LEGACY_VGABIOS
Some VGA options are more useful than others. For example,
CONFIG_LEGACY_VGABIOS does not seem to be used.
I see CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA enables logging to the VGA.
Could someone write a FAQ describing how to make CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA
work?
Thanks.
Steve
