hi,

actually -vmwarevga works for me when using pure qemu (latest cvs 
snapshot) without kqemu (-no-kqemu), but it does not work with kvm when 
using -no-kvm.

anyway, I was testing -vmwarevga because I want to be able to use the 
native resolution of my display. so -vmwarevga is obsolete for me if it 
is working with -std-vga because then there is no need to load a 
proprietary driver inside the guest os.

cheers,
Andi
