Re: [Qemu-devel] Virtualbox svga card in KVM

[Sriram Murthy]

Hi,
    I am looking into hw/vga.c and hw/vga-pci.c as a starting point in my 
effort to get vbox svga card into kvm. 

    However, given my very basic understanding of VGA/SVGA standards, can 
somebody throw some light on the inner workings of the std vga card in kvm?
    Also, are there any good urls/blogs/standards that I must be aware of 
before starting on this porting effort?
    Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Sriram

I don't see why it wouldn't, sounds like a great idea. You can look at 
hw/qxl.c, hw/cirrus_vga.c, hw/vmware_vga.c as existing pci vga cards. Also this 
should go on qemu-devel (cc'ed).
