Re: [Xen-devel] HVM and WIndows NT

[Alexandre CABROL PERALES <alexandre.cabrol@xxxxxxxx>]

my main concern is :
i have to use windows nt in 1280x1024,
how can i reach this goal with xen 3.3 or upper?

Seems there is a bug in Cirrus Video Card about screen resize.

However there is no bug on this qemu emulation with kvm.

So is there any way to patch qemu-dm video card emulator with current
qemu version?

or what is the latest version of qemu used to dev qemu-dm?
I red a doc from 2007 which said that qemu-dm is based on qemu 8.

is it still true?

if not what is the base version of qemu used in qemu-dm for xen 3.3 and
xen 3.4 ?
