Hi,
I'm trying to run vexpress-a9 virtual machines (armv7l architecture) using
libvirt.
The vexpress-a9 doesn't support vga cards, but libvirt adds a video "cirrus"
video card when there is a "graphics" element in the domain xml. This prevents
the domain from booting.
At the moment, the only workaround I found is to add the following to my xml
file :
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-vga'/>
<qemu:arg value='none'/>
</qemu:commandline>
What do you think about adding a "none" model type for video cards ? I know it
is a bit strange to declare a video card in order to have none...
I don't know the QEMU driver well, but maybe this could be handled by the
driver ? i.e. "no VGA card when the machine is vexpress-a9".
Regards,
Jean-Baptiste
