I never used gentoo as guest OS, only xubuntu and OpenSuse. So I can't |
| 51 |
give you tips for your gentoo guest installation. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Have you also tried it without the -monitor option? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Here some infos about my host and guest OS. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Host: gentoo, kernel 4.1.7-hardened-r1, qemu-2.5.0, x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4, x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.6.1 |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Guest: xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, kernel 3.13.0-74-generic, vmware VGA emulation |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
If screen resolution and performance isn't that important for you then |
| 62 |
you could also try to connect via vnc or spice. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Attached is my guest xorg.log. |
