Here is what I am getting on my tests: Host: Kubuntu 7.04 Qemu: CVS from May third. Guest: Windows 2000 Driver: From VMware 5.5.3 build 34685 CPU: Opteron 165 dual core. Guest Memory: 256M Host Memory: 1G KQemu: No pellja@cherrypit:~/qemu$ qemu -hda win2k.raw -cdrom windows.iso -boot c -m 256 -vmwarevga Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated: No such file or directory vmsvga_value_write: guest runs Windows 2000. vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e vmmouse: unknown command 1e The initial portion of the boot (text mode bars advancing at the bottom of the screen) works perfectly, then when it switches to graphics mode (Win2k splash screen with small progress bar below) I actually see the progress bar, but only the blue channel and it is disproportionately large. Once the progress bar completes and windows 2k kernel is fully booted, I get small vertical blue bars covering the entire screen (see screenshot). It appears like qemu is no longer responding to paint messages from the window manager because it will not repaint, again as you can see from the screenshot. I'm happy to gather any additional information that may be helpful, and to look at the code if you point me in the right direction. I imagine the best documentation is the source code for the vmware X drivers.
