Re: Bug#658914: imvirt: does not know about ARAnyM (m68k Atari emulator)

[Thomas Liske <liske@ibh.de>]

Re,

it took me some time to add basic ARAnyM detection support to imvirt. 
The detection heuristic does only the dmesg check, atm. The code is 
available via SVN at:

 https://imvirt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/imvirt/tags/0.9.3-pre0_r573/

Since I have no experience on ARAnyM/m68k I would really appreciate 
contributions to become independent of the dmesg output.


TIA,
Thomas
