BeBochs v1.2.1
posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Sep 7th, 2001
BeBochs is a multi operating systems emulator for BeOS. Here's the changes:
optimize for speed when simulating one processor. Now 1-processor performance should be equivalent to 1.1.2.
[ #432488 ] SMP:assert "n_logfn MAX_LOGFNS" fails increase MAX_LOGFNS since we ran out of them on an SMP simulation with 4 processors
[ #432491 ] SMP: CPUID says no APIC feature clean up inconsistent use of BX_SUPPORT_APIC and BX_APIC_SUPPORT, which caused the CPUID to report no APIC was present
[ #431025 ] --enable-external-device-models broken removed configure options for external-device-models and external-cpu-memory. These don't work and aren't going to be fixed.
[ #429448 ] configure: -lreadline when not there Now configure allows you to choose not to use readline, even if it's found on your system.
[ #428915 ] apply extended keyboard patch extended keyboard patch by Dave Poirier eks@void-core.2y.net
updated rombios to version 1.13. This fixes several problems:
[ #430472 ] DOS HIMEM "A20 line" error This problem was apparantly caused when Bryce added a function that prints the BIOS version, and he called it too early in the boot process. Now the same function is called later, and it doesn't break the A20.
[ #431010 ] SMP structure overwritten in v1.2 SMP structures were getting overwritten by BCC-generated data, preventing SMP operating systems from detecting that other processors were available.
[ #431016 ] bios: SMP struct has wrong entry count SMP structure had the wrong entry counts
very minor doc updates (typos, replace broken link to mtools info)
quit when the user clicks the power button, even if they have disabled panics.
[ #428222 ] vga font not installed added script called "install-x11-fonts" which should help people install the VGA font on X windows systems, if it isn't already there.
