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

Hi All: As you know, open source firmware is available now. It performs stable in our internal test. To be a pure open source project, open firmware is natural for RHEL5.2. It's really exciting if community could switch to open firmware in your common test and use. Here is a doc of how to build open firmware. Hope it make things happy.
