(there is always a but, isn't there :) ) guest loses vnc?? meaning that VNC gets only blank(black screen (this was what deceived me earlier)) whereas guest seems to fine itself, I can rdp to it (it's win7), I can get it on a directly attached monitor via keyboard + mouse attached in the same fashion only win device manager shows "Standard VGA Graphic Adapter" exclamation marked. (I tied both -vga cirrus and -vga std) would anybody know how to fix/troubleshoot it? many thanks On 03/10/12 15:46, Alex Williamson wrote: > On Wed, 2012-10-03 at 15:30 +0100, lejeczek wrote: >> I cannot tell anything about upsteam, I'm going to try it >> out now, but in general I tend to stay as close to >> distro/yum version as possible, >> so for 6.3 rhel it is tedious way of grabbing and compiling >> everything that is needed >> where it seems RHEL stands it the reservation that VGA >> pass-though is not supported full stop >> all I was saying was that their seabios might be worth >> looking into/updating as slightly higher rev of it solved my >> problem as described in >> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860418 > I do apologize if I was abrupt in closing that bug, but it needs to work > upstream first.
