This is something which prompted me to test the new release,
but it gives... interesting results.

WinXP guest is unable to find drivers for the video adaptor
with -vga std and this vgabios.bin, not even its "standard VGA"
fallback driver.  The device in question is detected as "Other
devices / Video controller (VGA compat.)", and its identification
looks like:

 PCI\VEN_1234&DEV_1111&SUBSYS_11001AF4&REV_00\3&13C0B0C5&0&10

This appears to be bogus somehow, no?

Thanks!
