Package: xen-hypervisor-4.5-amd64_4.5.0-1_amd64.deb
Version: 4.5.0-1


Hi,

I use xen with sdl, not with vnc. When I boot on xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64, everything is fine. With Debian or Windows 8.1 I have a good display,

But when I choose at boot, the xen-hypervisor-4.5-amd64, things go wrong.

If I launch a xen Debian, I get some blur effect on the display.
And when I launch a xen Windows8.1, it is much worse. I only get a black screen, with some time, some screen update, BUT the system still boot normally. Indeed, I can access to the shared folders, and if I maximize and/or minimize the qemu window (on my Debian), I can get a «refresh of the display». Thereby I can then see the desktop, but after resizing the qemu window, the display is no more refreshed.

Thus, if I move the mouse, the pointer remains motionless, but if I maximize and/or minimize the qemu windows, I can see what happened really, and where is exactly the pointer.

I tried with a lot of kernel with xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64, everything is ok, but I always get the same issue only with xen-hypervisor-4.5-amd64.

Here a configuration file use for Windows 8.1, that works fine with xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64 but not with xen-hypervisor-4.5-amd64 :

      kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.5/boot/hvmloader"
      builder='hvm'
      memory = 2048
      maxmem=3072
      videoram=256
      stdvga=1
      vcpus=4
      name = "Windows8.1"
      vif = ['bridge=br0']
      disk = ['file:/home/zer0/xen/xenwin8.1.img,hda,w']
      acpi = 1
      apic = 1
      hpet=1
      device_model_version = 'qemu-xen'
      boot="c"
      opengl=1
      sdl=1
      vnc=0
      autoballoon=0


Here the latest kernel with which I encounter the problem :

zer0@debian:~$ uname -a
Linux debian 4.0.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.2-1 (2015-05-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Or with

zer0@debian:~$ uname -a
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.2-1 (2015-05-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

Closing this one now.
