[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: Implement basic video device selection

being as bad with timely responses. Ok, so how about the following? One note: it could be the STRDUP's are not strictly needed. But to me it felt wrong to have two places refer to the same strings (as MakeVFB copies the struct containing the pointers). If this is not needed, then all changes now in MakeVFB probably can be dropped (except setting the keyboard layout, maybe; which I might miss ;)). -Stefan From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader(a)canonical.com&gt; Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:01:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libxl: Implement basic video device selection This started as an investigation into an issue where libvirt (using the libxl driver) and the Xen host, like an old couple, could not agree on who is responsible for selecting the VNC port to use. Things usually (and a bit surprisingly) did work because, just like that old couple, they had the same idea on what to do by default. However it was possible that this ended up in a big argument. The problem is that display information exists in two different places: in the vfbs list and in the build info. And for launching the device model, only the latter is used. But that never gets initialized from libvirt. So Xen allows the device model to select a default port while libvirt thinks it has told Xen that this is done by libvirt (though the vfbs config). While fixing that, I made a stab at actually evaluating the configuration of the video device. So that it is now possible to at least decide between a Cirrus or standard VGA emulation and to modify the VRAM within certain limits using libvirt.
