| |
Hi all,
I'm rewriting the i386 setup code in C, instead of assembly, and before I spend a very large amount of time translating all the various card-specific probes, I want to ask the following question...
Does *anyone* care about these anymore?
All of these are specific to cards from a very long time ago. I am currently planning to retain the VESA-related code, and the standard video modes, but I'd like to avoid the card-specific stuff, especially since I have absolutely zero ability to test any of testing them (with the possible sole exception of the cirrus5 code, which is emulated by qemu.)
Please holler if you care...
