All that's missing for Wallstreets to boot from quik with accelerated video, it would seem, is a little video hardware initialisation; that step _should_ be derivable from the ATI documentation. Like I said, I don't currently have the time to deal with it, so I'll live with video=ofonly for the moment.Also true, but that initialisation is done in the MacOSROM, thus my reasoning above to have the support for *all* OldWorld machines. :)
Aye, agreed, although I'm not sure that it's _all_ done in the ROM, ISTR from poking about in the miBoot / BootX source a while back that it does a certain amount of video configuration itself. I wonder what OSX's BootX does, that certainly works to give "proper" video support on Wallstreets, too.
At a guess, we'd only need to tweak "known bad" built-in video cards anyway. I'll pull down the BootX and BootX sources and see what's happening there.
