Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Open GFW Howto

[Kouya Shimura <kouya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wing,

Thank you for your contribution.

I'd like to switch to open GFW too.
But there is an obstruction.

Open GFW seems not to support legacy VGA bios.
So Windows can't utilize cirrus logic video card
and the display of qemu console is very poor 
(640x480 16colors) and slow.

Do you have any plan to support the cirrus driver on Windows?

Thanks,
Kouya
