Thanks a lot for enabling the Virtio drivers in the Tizen IVI kernel. Here is (a little late... sorry about that), some additional information that Philippe (on CC, credits go to him) has put together to enable an image to run in VMware. First of all, one of the key requirements was to be able to benefit from the graphics acceleration so a lot of attention was given to that. Here is the situation as far as I understand it: - VMware: the Free Player supports 3D acceleration on Windows hosts but you need VMware Workstation (not free) to have 3D acceleration on Linux hosts. - VirtualBox: seems no upstream Gfx drivers exist and it's all tied to the VirtualBox Guest Additions (which I don't know if these can easily be installed on Tizen IVI) - QEMU/kvm: there used to be a project called qemu-gl that focussed on that aspect. I don't know what happened to that project but I certainly think that enabling GL in qemu would be of great value since this is also what is used in the Tizen SDK for the emulation part.
CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX is the config option to turn on the Gfx drivers that can be used in VMware and unless I've missed it it's disabled in the kernel-x86-ivi, could you enable that one too? I haven't verified it but it looks like the libdrm package we use in Tizen IVI already has the support to use these (vmwgfx API is enabled according to the buildlog) Thanks!
