I use XFree 4.3.0.1 I use an X server on console 7 for qemu, and a different X server on console 8 for other stuff. I can reproduce a crash of qemu by launching it in fullscreen mode (on console 7) and changing to the other X instance (on console 8) to wait for the OS within qemu to start. As soon as the operating system running inside qemu attempts to change the screen resolution, qemu crashes with: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension) Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode) Value in failed request: 0x3a Serial number of failed request: 249 Current serial number in output stream: 251 In other words: When running in fullscreen mode on an X server that is not currently displaying, qemu crashes when attempting to change the screen resolution. The crash also occurs when qemu runs in fullscreen mode on the only X server and I change to a text console while the OS within qemu is starting up. All the best from Mark Roberts (British, in Germany) (NOT A LIST MEMBER)
