Desktops users may also enjoy support for widescreen resolutions. Changes from kvm-58: - merge qemu-cvs - -drive cache=[on|off] option - adds scsi passthrough - ide lba48 support for 120GB+ disk images - widescreen resolutions for -std-vga - libkvm compile fixes (Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon) - mmu scaling (Marcelo Tosatti, me) Notes: If you use the modules bundled with kvm-59, you can use any version of Linux from 2.6.17 upwards. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules bundled with Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases. For best performance, use Linux 2.6.23-rc2 or later as the host. http://kvm.qumranet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
