qemu/qemu/6a0e2db07341ce02313923ed69fc9d3de4dcf9b5 hw/hppa: Disable Artist graphics card on 64-bit machines
The original Artist graphics used the GSC bus, was often installed in old
32-bit machines (e.g. 715) and can not be used on 64-bit machines.
This is why this patch makes the artist driver dependend on the Lasi chip,
which was never used in a 64-bit machine.
Note that there exists a variant of Artist for the PCI-bus (Visualize-EG PCI).
It has quite some differences in the registers, and would require that we write
a PCI ROM for it, so that Linux and HP-UX would be able to use it.
Instead, for now, users can simply use a standard VGA or ATI PCI graphics card
on Linux. This can be enabled on the command line with "-device ati-vga" or
"-device VGA". If the "-nographic" option is omitted, a PCI OCHI controller
with USB keyboard and USB mouse will be added automatically.
This fixes graphics support on 64-bit hppa machines and allows us to boot up a
64-bit Linux installation with VGA graphics.
