This tells us that the standard VGA device model is driven by the
"modesetting" driver. Update the "configure_display_driver" function
(for
Linux guests) accordingly.
Correct.
Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel(a)redhat.com>
and configure_display_driver video =
let video_driver =
match video with
- | Standard_VGA -> assert false
+ | Standard_VGA -> "modesetting"
| QXL -> "qxl"
| Cirrus -> "cirrus" in
Oh. More updates needed.
cirrus is modesetting too, unless you use a *really* old distro.
kraxel@sirius ~/distgit/xorg-x11-drv-cirrus (rawhide)# cat dead.package
2014-07-06: retired driver, because it does not support KMS:

qxl is on a similar path. In case xorg-x11-drv-qxl.rpm is installed
xorg will prefer the qxl driver. In case the driver is not present xorg
will use the modesetting driver instead and it'll work equally fine.
I think RHEL-9 doesn't ship xorg-x11-drv-qxl.rpm any more.
virtio-gpu will also be handled by the modesetting driver.
So possibly you can just do 'let video_driver = "modesetting"'
take care & HTH,
Gerd
