https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=792421 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=792421#c0 Summary: Virtualization/kvm: Bug: Please include VGA-BIOS patch for Windows 8 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software AssignedTo: brogers@suse.com ReportedBy: bjoernv@arcor.de QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- The kvm package 1.2.0 currently does not include a very useful patch for Windows 8 guest support. Without the patch, Windows 8 does not run with guest screen resolutions higher than 1024x768. The small patch can be backported from newer versions of VGABIOS: See http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-05/msg00260.html http://code.metager.de/source/xref/xen/tools/firmware/vgabios/vbe.c I tested the patch with openSUSE 12.2 and Windows 8 Pro without problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What's our plan?
stick to vgabios or move to vgabios in seabios?
We'll want to follow upstream with respect to the firmware used by default. I believe seabios' vgabios has some still unresolved deficiencies (eg: PM Interface - see: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/146810) I wouldn't be opposed to also shipping the seabios project's vgabios in openSUSE. Debian does that, I believe. But if there are bugs in the LGPL's vgabios we need to help make sure they get fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Could I also test on KVM 1.5.0? Going back to KVM 1.3.0 causes some configuration changes in libvirtd guests.
Sure. Thanks! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
