Hello, Downgrading my host kernel to 3.2 allowed me to reproduce the issue, and bisect the VGA driver changes down to a seemingly odd difference: the addition of unsigned char attr_mode; in the vga_state structure. Yes, that is what makes qemu completely hang with hwaccel on linux kernel 3.2. Putting some padding after that, i.e. unsigned char attr_mode, pad1, pad2, pad3; gets rid of the issue.
My guess is that the additional byte unaligns videomem and fontmem, and then the memcpies between VGA memory and main RAM are unaligned, thus using some other code, which perhaps wasn't properly emulated by linux 3.2. Peter, could you try to put http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/tmp/vga.so.0.3 into /usr/lib/hurd/console/ and start your Hurd console? That one does work for me and on Richard's VMs. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
