Description Peter Colijn 2004-11-20 11:36:04 UTC
The ebuild for bochs 2.1.1 in portage does not configure bochs with --enable-vbe. Thus VBE support is disabled per default.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bochs
2. try to run something requiring a VBE graphics mode in bochs


Actual Results:  
The kernel will fail to boot in bochs as soon as it tries to set a VBE graphics
mode.

Expected Results:  
The bochs virtual machine should have booted successfully, setting up a VBE
graphics mode.

Simply adding --enable-vbe to the 'myconf' variable works fine for me. AFAIK,
turning on that option does not make bochs depend on any more libraries, so it
shouldn't need USE variable to be turned on.
