1 Hi,
2
3 I am trying to run virt-manager and or qemu with 3d acceleration using
4 virtio-gpu options.
5
6 When I start the virtual machine in virt-manager all I get is a screen
7 of static (complete screen corruption of lines and blocks)
8
9 I also get the same problem when trying to start from CLI with the
10 following
11
12 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
13 -enable-kvm \
14 -cpu host \
15 -smp 8 \
16 -m 4G \
17 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 -net user \
18 -soundhw es1370 \
19 -usb -device usb-tablet \
20 -show-cursor \
21 -vga virtio \
22 -display gtk,gl=on \
23 -drive file=arch.img,if=virtio &
24
25 This used to work fine but has recently gone wrong. I have tried
26 several guests all with the same results of corrupted screens.
27
28 I can start machines with normal qxl options and all is fine so
29 think this is just an issue with virtio 3d acceleration.
30
31 Any ideas?
32
33 Thanks
