If it is still of any interest, i have tested qemu succesfully with the
modesetting driver like this:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/videocard-0.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "modesetting"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
Option "vga" "cirrus"
EndSection
Do you need any of that ? I guess that the option line might help,
but I've been running without a conf file for my testing. Normally,
I do use a conf file, but only to stop it using glamor and hence to
remove one '(EE)' from the log.
No, I don't need the config, the server started fine with the glamor
driver, that was just to test the modesetting driver.
But I'm glad you tested and found it ok.
glxgears gave me 50 fps, seems decent.

That part surprises me, my experience so far with glxgears and the
modesetting driver is that I get huge reported fps rates - at the
cost of it taking a lot of CPU to do that. Even on real hardware
(radeon Aruba, modesetting from 16.99 server earlier this year) -
fortunately, the 7.5 ati driver solved the problem I had been seeing
with the 7.4 version (high CPU usage when Xorg idle).
Well, I was just running it for about 10 seconds, and it is a qemu vm,
networked by a vde tap interface to which I connected to by vnc, over a
openvpn connection... need I say more?
Kind regards
Tim
