Package: qemu
Severity: important

I created a Debian 6 VM using libvirt/qemu/kvm on a Debian 6 host.

After switching the video device to 'vmvga' I noticed random hard locks (about 
once a day) in the VM. Once this happens you can not even 
shutdown/destroy the VM using the 'virsh' command. I had to reboot the host to 
get the VM back up.

I have since switched to the 'xen' video device ('cirrus' is too low resolution 
and 'vga' is too slow) and have been stable ever since.

vmvga (-vga vmware) hasn't been exactly stable in the squeeze version
of qemu (0.12).  The situation improved alot since that time.  I'm
assuming this has been fixed somewhere between squeeze and wheeze,
so am closing this bugreport.  Please verify and reopen if it still
happens.

There's no such device as "xen" in qemu.  FWIW.

Thanks,
