Subject: [Qemu-devel] emulating a display, instead of just a dumb graphics card
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 14:39:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140321133922.GA5707@aepfle.de> (raw)
Right now qemu does appearently just emulate a graphics card (Cirrus for
example), but not an attached monitor/display. The result is confusion
in the guest OS.
The current DRM drivers in upstream Linux seem to default to VESA modes.
These are either provided by qemu, or Xorg uses a fixed internal list.
As a result the VM window is 1280x960. Much too large for my native
display.
It seems qemu does not provide a virtual display with valid EDID data.
If it would start doing that, the host admin could force a certain
display size. Ideally also with proper DPI data.
Any idea if thats possible to implement?
Olaf
