[Qemu-devel] mipsel support for graphic mode

[Yuval Mintz]

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there exist support for a graphical (e.g., when no 
–nographic is used) when using qemu to emulate a mips little-endian machine 
(malta)?
I'm trying using both windows XP and linux as host machines, but I couldn't 
even use the most basic X usages.
If it is not currently supported, what in what state of development does it 
stand? What is lacking to allow usage of a graphic mode?

Thanks,
Yuval

I guess your Malta kernel lacks framebuffer support.
http://people.debian.org/~ths/qemu/malta/ works for me.

Let me give some more information: my kernel was constructed to support 
framebuffers. I wrote a small program that opens the framebuffer, memcpy it 
and tries to write to it. I manage to pass the opening part, but I recieve 
the message that no device is found and so it is not a legal command. The 
use of the described above vmlinux doesn't change that error messge.

Thx,
Yuval

Then your program does something differently than the standard fb tools
which come with Debian.

well, if someone has a working environment for mipsel with a fb support and 
working graphic mode, and he coould point me to his files/send them to me 
(e.g. kernel, filesystem, anything else...) it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
yuval
