Re: [Xen-devel] Unable to get QXL vga working

[Fantu <fantonifabio@xxxxxxxxxx>]

upstream-qemu-xen extra patches are included in upstream-qemu unstable (now
at 1.1-rc0)
I can run hvm domU correctly, on xen-unstable with xl, also with spice.
Some info about my last test system:
Dom0:
Wheezy 64 bit with kernel from package linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 version
3.2.15-1, package blktap-dkms and all dependency packages for xen, spice and
usb redirection.
-------------------------
/etc/modules
------------
loop max_loop=64
xenfs
xen-evtchn
blktap
-------------------------
hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-unstable.hg (in this build changeset is
25249:a4e7fce6ee2b)
vi Makefile # removed dist-kernel to not compile kernel
-------------------------
Added some patches:
- autoconf: add variable for pass arbitrary options to qemu upstream v3
- tools: Improve make deb
-------------------------
./configure --enable-qemuu-spice --enable-qemuu-usbredir
--enable-qemuu-debug
-------------------------
make deb

One domU xl configuration file:
---------------------------------
XP.cfg
-------------
name='XP'
builder="hvm"
memory=1024

hap=1
pae=1
acpi=1

device_model_version="qemu-xen"
#vnc=1
#vncunused=1
#vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
#keymap="it"
spice=1
spicehost="0.0.0.0"
spiceport=6000
spicedisable_ticketing=1
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"
on_crash="destroy"
stdvga=1
---------------------------------

About QXL I tried to add:
stdvga=0
videoram=128
device_model_args=["-device","qxl-vga"]

About qxl there are problems about videoram not allocated or not used over 4
mb (same as default cirrus vga).
At the moment I haven't found solution for this problem, probably some
bugfix and/or change are needed on xen.
