There is regression bug in QEMU on Cirrus Driver (-vga)
See mail attached from qemu mailing list.

I need CPUI configuration feature which is available only in xen 3.3 and
upper

but in need precedent version of ioemu-qemu-xen.

Can i build xen 3.3 with ioemu-qemu-xen of 3.2

To run Windows NT properly.

I tried to build and run xen-unstable but it fails.

moreover this is production use so i don't want to have unstable features.

Can you help me on this point please?

i tried latest version of qemu with -vga and it crash on display
resolution switch (eg. switch from 640x480 256bits to 1280x1024 65536bits)

i tried on 0.9.1 and it works well.

so maybe there is a bug.

I'm currently running an NT4 on kvm-86 for testing various bits and pieces, and that works fine for me - maybe it's a regression between kvm/qemu-kvm?

I was unable to get the standard NT4 VGA driver to work in anything other than 16 colours, however I did finally have success with the ReactOS driver VBEMP which can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/bearwindows/vbemp.htm


HTH,

Mark.
