General description

CHARON-AXP supports emulation of PBXGA graphics card by direct virtualization. CHARON provides a virtual console for displaying graphics. The console starts automatically upon starting CHARON. Its resolution is 800 x 600 by default .

Important notes

• PBXGA graphics console cannot be used as the system console. Use OPA0 for this purpose.
• If PBXGA graphics card is going to be used, the resolution of CHARON host screen must be sufficient to provide ability to display the graphics console properly.
• If PBXGA graphics card is used, CHARON cannot run as a service so not compatible with the Linux Toolkit. It can however work in detached mode.
• If the window of the PBXGA graphics card console is closed by user ( or killed as a process) , it will not re-appear automatically (CHARON the Charon emulator will continue to work in this case). In this situation the user has to restart the pbxga_tv program with the correct parameters, as defined in the configuration file, to restart the graphical display. (see application chapter further)
