[Bug 513273] Re: kvm with -vga std is broken since karmic

[Francisco Colaço]

Let me tell you what I have done:

  I have updraded qemu to the noroms version.  The problem was
reintroduced.

  Then, in the directory where I hold my images (.local/share/kvm):

  > mkdir bios
  > cd bios
  > ln -s /usr/share/qemu/* .
  > rm vgabios.bin bios.bin
 
  > copied vgabios.bin and bios.bin from the qemu source
  > finally, called qemu -L $KVM_IMAGES_DIR/bios/ ...

  bios.bin and vgabios.bin are read from the qemu source directory
version, and works.

  Now, there are two different problems, independent.  If I load
bios.bin from seabios, I get the kvm error messages; if from qemu
source, I do not see those messages.  On the other hand, the reduction
of resolution depends solely of the vgabios.bin one uses.  I have tried
several bios.bin/vgabios.bin to establish the independence of the
effects.

  I had before one way to access the non-standard vga modes, like
1280x768, but now, even with vgabios.bin from the source distribution, I
can only access 1024x768.  Does anyone know why?
