Hi I just verified that with kvm qemu, I am able to create other guest OSes like gentoo linux from iso image and I did not get the VGA problem I got with 'android-x86 for generic_x86' target iso image. Has anyone faced something like this before? Also do I need to customize the configuration in kernel or something like that? This is what I did. 1. Downloaded the source from http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode 2. Added the KVM module support to the default kernel config that comes with android-x86 source. 3. compiled the source like make iso_img TARGET_PRODUCT=generic_x86 and used the iso image with kvm-qemu on top of ubuntu-9.10. That is when I ran in to cirrus-vga problem.
It would be gr8 if someone can tell how to fix this. Thanks :) On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 3:19 PM, sreenaath vasudevan <sreenaat...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi > I am new to this group.
