Hi, QEMU provides the global '-g' CLI option:
$ qemu-system-foo --help -g WxH[xDEPTH] Set the initial graphical resolution and depth This option is used to pass resolution/depth information to guest firmwares in the machines defined in the following files: hw/ppc/mac_newworld.c hw/ppc/mac_oldworld.c hw/ppc/prep.c hw/ppc/spapr.c hw/sparc/sun4m.c hw/sparc64/sun4u.c Examples: - hw/ppc/spapr.c:1102: _FDT(fdt_setprop_cell(fdt, c, "qemu,graphic-width", graphic_width)); - hw/sparc64/sun4u.c:716: fw_cfg_add_i16(fw_cfg, FW_CFG_SPARC64_WIDTH, graphic_width); Obviously we have default values, which are different per architecture! Clearly these ought to be machine properties. It is also used to set TYPE_NUBUS_MACFB properties in hw/m68k/q800.c. Here i suppose we could directly use '-global nubus-macfb.width=value' etc. although I'm not sure it is the recommended way. Should we start deprecating '-g' as a whole? Regards, Phil.
