Hello,
I'm using QEmu 2.0.0 on a Linux host (x86-64) with a quite special
target system that uses uvesafb ('video=uvesafb:1024x768-32'). I get
following errors in the target system:
uvesafb: Getting mode info block for mode 0x2 failed (eax=0x4f01, err=1)
uvesafb: Getting mode info block for mode 0x3 failed (eax=0x4f01, err=1)
uvesafb: Getting mode info block for mode 0x4 failed (eax=0x4f01, err=1)

uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22
With QEmu 1.6, it worked. I bisected that down to following commit:

roms: update vgabios binaries
And indeed, when I switch 'vgabios-stdvga.bin' to the old variant, it works.
What can I do to track down the problem? I tried to build the svga bios
inside the QEMU tree, but I didn't succeed. Building it in the current
seabios git tree worked, but I got a different error...
