This is what happens when you use > modules from the stock kernel. Will fix this for kvm-81. Yes I reloaded the modules. I even rebooted with kvm-80 modules in /lib/modules/$kver/... instead of the ones from 2.6.27 kernel. > Windows XP ought to work well in kvm-80. I also tried the fix that went into kvm-81-tobe, as pointed out by Jan Kiszka. No change here. Which is quite expectable, since the fix is for cirrus, but my prob appears with -vga std too. I'll keep trying for some more time. But I don't quite know what to try next. Even recompiled kvm/qemu with gcc-3.3 as it used to use (kvm-80 used default gcc) - no difference. Installing windows from scratch does not help either - when it tries to display real graphics resolution instead of some rudimentary graphics it shows during install, the screen stops refreshing. Thanks! /mjt
