As regards enabling vesafb, it might be nice to add support to Xen to
drop into real mode via a trampoline in the bottom megabyte and execute
a BIOS call (marshalling the registers in each direction). We can then
get the dom0 kernel to make this hypercall when initialising the vesafb.
ok, I have implemented this in linuxbios once already, I will look
into it.I had hoped never to see it again but you can't win them all
:-)
thanks
