Have you installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-modesetting on the guest? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Have you compiled the guest kernel with CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU? |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
If yes, then I guess that you don't need xf86-video-cirrus at all. |

You probably need to compile the guest kernel with CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS |
| 46 |
for "-vga std". |

There is also a kernel option for a KMS enabled DRM driver for the |
| 51 |
VMware SVGA virtual hardware (CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX). I think that the |
| 52 |
performance of this driver is better than the performance of the |
| 53 |
cirrus driver. |
