Package: kvm
Version: 72+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Hi
I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or not, but I've been unable to find
any other information about it and therefore I thought it would be better to
report it. The problem revolves around the screen update rate on KVM.
It appears extremely slow in comparison to QEMU, even without any
acceleration module. This seems a bit odd as KVM is based on QEMU to a
significant degree anyway. Given the additional performance advantages provided
by the
use of hardware virtualisation and KVM, I can only imagine that a bug or
some missing implementation code is having this effect.
The problem can be easily demonstrated. Downloading the small base FreeDOS
image and booting from the CD displays an initial splash screen. The
rendering of it is vastly quicker on QEMU and is sluggish on KVM. The
problem seems to persist for other programs too.
Regards,
Orion

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/495690 in Debian BTS
against the package kvm. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/562620. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
