 |

Hi.
I'm running the latest version of qemu. The guest OS is Win7. I'm trying to run an application that demands at least 64M of video memory.
I have have googled the heck out of this, but nothing I find will work. Am I doing something wrong here?
No matter how much I pass for video ram, Windows always reports as 16MB (right click desktop > Screen Resolution > advanced). Dedicated video memory is always n/a. System Video memory is always n/a. Shared System Memory is always n/a.
Here is what I issue to start up the qemu box:
| Code: | | qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.ram_size=67108864 -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554422 -smp cpus=2 -soundhw hda -drive file=/vm/My-Box-WIN,if=virtio -usb -cdrom /home/grooveman/win7_64.iso -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -net nic,model=virtio -m 16G -monitor stdio -name MY-Box-WIN -spice streaming-video=all,agent-mouse=on,disable-ticketing,port=5930 |
It is the -global qxl-vga.ram_size and -global qxl-vga.vram_size options that I'm fussing with. I'll be honest though, I don't know what the difference is... I'm thinking vram is dedicated video ram, and ram is shared? Not sure. Like I said, however, nothing I throw at it seems to work. It always tells me (as stated above) 16mb - n/a - n/a - n/a.
Anyone able to crack this nut?
Thanks.
G

Yeah... that's what I figured. I wonder if anyone ever had this working in Gentoo?
Anyway, opened a bug report:

Nope. I tried everything I could find or think of. I see other people do this on other distros, so I cannot help but think it is a bug... if you come across something, please post back, but I'm thinking it will need to be addressed by the "team". Maybe you can chime in on the bug report above.
