The -vga command always accepts qxl in 1.2 and newer. Are you sure? I thought qemu ./configure allows a choice of which graphics engines to support, and that you can compile qxl out (distros don't do that, but a self-built qemu might support -vga but not QXL). I

When I tried qemu(1.3.50) ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-debug --disable-spice
#./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -h|grep -i qxl -vga [std|cirrus|vmware|qxl|xenfb|none]
help output is non-normative, if you have qemu 1.2 or newer. This could be a case of qemu not making the help output conditional on the compile options used. But since we shouldn't be relying on the help output, this grep means nothing for whether qxl is actually supported. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
