[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/sparc64: Create VGA device only if it has really been requested
Posted by Thomas Huth 7 years, 1 month ago 
The sun4u/sun4v machine currently always creates a VGA device, even if
the user started QEMU with "-nodefaults" or "-vga none". That's likely
not what the users expect in this case, so add a check whether the VGA
adapter has really been requested.

Can't comment on the actual patch but looks like a whitespace is missing 
here.

Oops. Mark, can you fix it up when applying the patch (if you don't
object it)? Or shall I resend?

By the way, would it make sense to enable virtio-vga for the sun4u
machines, too?

That's okay, I can fix this up easily enough.

Hmmm that's one thing I haven't really tested - is there any reason to use this over
the bochs_drm driver?


ATB,

With virtio-vga, you'd get virtio-gpu features, too. See Gerd's talk
from KVM forum 2015 for details:
