[Bug 513273] Re: kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic
Building vgabios from source as described above added the missing modes for me too. But still the vga driver does not work properly - it builds the screen very slowly line by line and takes 20 seconds or more just for the login-screen. After some hours I gave up on vga and switched to the vmware-driver - now everything works great. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513273 Title: kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 449395] Re: kvm freezes at graphical boot splash
The standard cirrus driver works fine - the problem only occurs with vesa. The reason for using vesa is that I can get my native resolution (1680x1050) while cirrus is restricted to 1280x1024. The workaround for vesa is to either remove the 'splash'-option in grub.cfg or boot the recovery kernel (which does not have this option).

[Bug 449395] [NEW] kvm freezes at graphical boot splash
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm When starting kvm with vesa emulation (-vga std), kvm freezes at the new graphical boot splash and shows a black screen. Kvm boots fine when removing the 'splash' option from /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the guest. I first noticed the problem after upgrading to 2.6.31-13.

[Bug 349331] Re: limited screen resolution
Thank you so much! You did a brilliant job! Works perfectly since this morning. No idea what fixed it, maybe it was kernel 2.6.31-10 or xserver-common. Now the vesa-emulation (-vga std) works for me with karmic guest on karmic host and I can get any resolution I want including my native one. The xorg.conf I use on the guest is attached. If you want other resolutions just change 1680x1050 to whatever you want. This only works for karmic guests. For 9.04 guests you still have to use the cirrus driver (-vga cirrus), which is limited to 1280x1024. ** Attachment added: xorg.conf for karmic guest with 1680x1050 resolution http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31524704/xorg.conf-kvm-1680 -- limited screen resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
