[Qemu-discuss] linux+xorg on qemu, no graphic device

[Fabrizio Pollastri]

Hello,

I am trying to run an X server with qemu, but, in spite of several efforts, the 
server does not find any
available graphic device (see Xorg.log below).

Insmod of cirrus.ko (done after loading all dependencies sys*,drm*,ttm) on the 
guest system returns the error
insmod: can't insert '/modules/cirrus.ko': Invalid argument

As can be seen below (see attachments), I tryed other graphic drivers both in 
the kernel and both in the xserver,
but no one works.

Any hint, will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Fabrizio

qemu command => qemu -kernel vmlinuz-3.8-2-486 -initrd rootfs.gz
