Subject: extended vga modes?
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:20:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B94CF85.7000805@msgid.tls.msk.ru> (raw)

After updating qemu-kvm Debian package to 0.12
we've a bugreport about missing video modes which
were present in previous versions.  Big thanks to
the original reporter, Bjørn Mork, who found what
the issue is.  See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572991
for the bugreport in question, together with the
resolution.

In short, when vgabios were dropped from qemu-kvm
(for whatever yet unknown reason), all local changes
to it were dropped too, including this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=commitdiff;h=ebfac597cf

Note that this patch is present in upstream 0.6c version
of vgabios, but not in 0.6b+ which is currently used in
qemu.

Should vgabios in qemu include that patch?

Thanks!
