General description

Charon-AXP supports emulation of PBXGA graphics card(s) by direct virtualization and provides a virtual console for displaying graphics.

The console starts automatically upon starting the emulator. Its resolution is 800 x 600 by default.

Emulated cards

...

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 ( the Charon emulator will continue to work). 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)
