hi,

I applied the patch from

http://people.ubuntu.com/~soren/0001-Move-common-VGAState-attributes-to-VGA_STATE_COMMON.patch

against kvm-61 release and I still see the messages "kvm: get_dirty_pages
returned -2" scrolling by when I start the VM with -vmwarevga. booting windows
xp ends up in a blue screen indicating that something isn't alright with the
framebuffer. before the blue screen happens there are some lines "vmport:
unknown command 1e" on the console.

booting windows with -vmwarevga and -no-kvm is workish, but windows locked up
litte later.

bye,
Andi
