[Qemu-devel] qemu Windows XP info in Docs

[Mick Weiss]

Hi everyone,

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC32 does not mention 
that it is possible to correct this by getting SP2. I have not varified 
this myself (I was told this on #qemu on freenode).

If this is indeed possible to run Windows XP on QEMU, then why isn't 
this in the docs?

Could someone varify if this does indeed correct the problem? Also, is 
there a bug # for this? BTW: I don't seem to find a BTS for QEMU.

Thanks!

- Mick

Well, I've been running XP for ages. The only problems I ever found,
and I could't even narrow it down to my specific setup yet for
absolute lack of time, was that changing display colour depths
garbages the screen (which is solved either by a VM reboot or a
resolution change as well and going back to the previous one) and that
if I'm running it under KQEMU with Windows XP host, if I attempt to
open the Date&Time applet, QEMU freezes, takes up 100% CPU and can't
be killed, forcing me to close every process I'm able to and then
press the reset switch =P

Then again, I'm using the company's VLK license and pressed SP2 disk,
so I might just be dodging the activation thing completely. :)

It is in the #qemu Wiki.

Why it is not in the official docs, I don't know. Probably no one has bothered
to tell Fabrice.

Yes.

Huh? We have a bugzilla system now??

When did this happen?

I think something may have gotten trunkated from my post. I asked if 
qemu has a BTS, I guess not.
Might be a good chance to ask why?

AFAICT, nope. I guess most bugs are filled in the mailing list.
Actually, I seldom see bugs being fixed if not by someone commiting a
patch to do so.

Perhaps this is because people don't know there are bugs (since there is 
no bugzilla setup). I think there should be a bugzilla/lxr setup. Who is 
responsible for the website? I'd like to help the website maintainer set 
this up and (manage it if need be).
