[kvm-devel] Qemu window size + windows XP resolution problem

2007-03-12 Thread Andrew Walrond
Using v16 (including compiled modules) on a 2.6.20+ kernel, I installed windows XP as per the howto, which works perfectly. I changed the windows screen resolution to 1280x1024x16 in the display manager, which resized the qemu window and works fine. However, after shutting down and restarting X

Hi, I have setup a TUN/TAP device in my QEMU-KVM setup, and when I try to download a 1G file from the guest VM on a 1Gbit network, the download speed is abysmal (3MB/sec). Do I need to setup the QEMU acceleration for achieving better speeds ? What is the status of para virtualized networking o

[kvm-devel] [PATCH] Initialize PIIX3 IDE channels as "enabled"

2007-03-12 Thread Gregory Haskins
This patch initializes the PIIX3 IDE controllers IDE channels as enabled. They were previously unconfigured by QEMU. IDE devices have been broken on our local lab systems since the introduction of QEMU 0.9.0 (KVM-14). Tracing the Linux driver for PIIX3 initialization revealed that the "enabl
