Hi All,
We (4 of us in my company) have been very happy with spice over the
last year or so running with dual 1920x1200 monitors, for which
qxl-vga.vgamem_mb always needed to be set to 32 (default is 16) or
Xorg-qxl doesn't get enough video ram. I even bumped it to 64MB and
we can run a 3940x2160 and a 1920x1200 just fine.
This is set it libvirt domain xml like this:
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-global'/>
<qemu:arg value='qxl-vga.vgamem_mb=32'/>
</qemu:commandline>
...
Has qemu/libvirt changed somehow making this old syntax invalid?
Argh. Reply to self.
It HAS been added to the domain XML (and old syntax seems overruled).
There's the "vgamem" attribute, as in:
<video><model type='qxl' ram='131072' vram='131072' vgamem='32768'
heads='1' /></video>
It's kinda mis-documented in the libvirt domain XML:
"There is also optional attribute |vgamem| (since 1.2.11 (QEMU only)) to
set the size of VGA framebuffer for fallback mode of QXL device."
Vgamem is needed even in non-fallback mode to support a large (3840x1200
or larger) framebuffer.
Thanks,
David
