The identification is the same as with seabios-1.6.2 and vgabios-0.6<someting> - the "other vgabios" from bochs project. I just tried to re-install the video driver in 1.6.2 & 0.6, by deleting the device in device manager and rebooting the virtual machine - and it is unable to find any drivers too, saying this is some "Other device - vga compatible", -- i.e. exactly as with 1.7 and vgarom from it. The only difference is that with 1.6.2 & vgabios, even if the device is listed as "other device", there are a ton of various video modes available, while with 1.7 & vga rom from it, only one mode -- 640x480, 16 colors -- is available. >>> This appears to be bogus somehow, no? Bogus or not, but it was the same with bochs vgabios.. :) Thank you! /mjt
