hi, I tried using the -vmwarevga switch but I didn't succeed. I've tested it with kvm-snapshot-20080218, kvm-60 and kvm-61.
as soon as the VM (guest os is windows xp) switches from text mode to graphics mode lots of messages "kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2" scroll by on the console. after a while (but still while boot up) the VM crashes with stop error (blue screen) 0xEA (and says that something might be wrong with framebuf). if I start the VM with -no-kvm I don't see those messages in the console. the guest os boots up, but crashes quite soon with a stop error (blue screen) 0x7F. my CPU is an intel core 2 duo (mobile). uname -a output: Linux nbwina2.local 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:29:10 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux i start the VM with the following command: su -c '/usr/local/kvm-61/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 ~/vm/xp.qcow2 -m 1024 -k de -usb -localtime [-vmwarevga]' does -vmwarevga work for anyone (with windows as guest os)? what information do you need to track down the issue? btw: the -vmwarevga switch should be added to the usage output of qemu. bye, Andi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
