[Qemu-devel] Mac OS X host issues with i386 guest

[Qemu-devel] Mac OS X host issues with i386 guest

I saw that Fabrice committed a whole bunch of patches to QEMU CVS over 
the past couple of days, so I thought I'd try them out.  Alas, there is 
still no joy in Mudville for OS X users of QEMU (at least this user).

Build Issues:
I'm still having basic build issues.  Specifically, the requirement of 
#include <sys/types.h> in exec.c before #include <sys/mman.h> for 
compile and LIBS+=-lmx to Makefile.target in order for 
qemu-system-sparc to build.  See some of my previous posts on these 
issues.

Runtime Issues:
Once I get a compile (easy enough to do; 2 lines to 2 files gets the 
job done), I'm still having runtime issues with i386 guest.  
Specifically, every host that I've run (Win98, Mandrake 10.0, 
linux-test) displays garbage (see attached image).  I think that it 
*may* actually be emulating the rest of the system correctly, but 
something is wrong with the display.  I started having this issue on or 
around Oct. 11 with CVS HEAD builds.  One question I would have is 
whether other Mac OS X users are experiencing this issue, or is it just 
me?

On the plus side, PPC emulation seems to run like a charm!  No display 
issues what-so-ever.  I don't have any Sparc images to test with, so I 
can't comment on Sparc system emulation.

Thanks!
- Dave

I get this quite often: On IRIX and Sparc, I always see it. It goes away
as soon as the BIOS is initialized, so I didn't bother to track it down.
Also, I saw this screen when restarting Win98, and sometimes when I put in
a lot of debug messages (and thus probably messed up timing).

Ciao,
Dscho

I also have the problem, it might be an SDL trouble...
