I was going to try this but I was thinking may be there is something else that could be done to get xserver working because at the end I have to use intel graphics driver to run xserver on real hardware.
But I still have one question. How can I link l4 x86emu and fbdrv library pkg to the l4linux. Vesa video driver uses vbe module in xserver to initialize int10. I can use fbdrv init instead at that point and didn't have to make any changes to the xserver.
x86emu is a library and fb-drv is a program, basically just the wrapper around x86emu with some interface. I think integrating x86emu into L4Linux or the Xserver is considerable more effort than just let fb-drv do the switch to VESA then pass-through the graphics memory. Also if that means tweaking some X driver. Which direct device access (graphics card) do you actually need?
