Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/4]use newer video device by -device in qemu commandline
Hi,
For backwards
compatibility, if a certain qemu version does not support one of the above
video device arguments to -device or even -device itself, the -vga will still
be used.
That will not work. You must check the qemu version. 1.2+ is safe,
IIRC 1.1 will work too.
Technical background: '-device VGA' (+variants) exists for a looooooong
time, pretty much day one of the -device switch. Actually using it did
not work though due to a nasty initialization order issue in qemu. The
qemu memory api created by avi fixed it.
cheers,
Gerd
