Package: qemu-kvm Version: 0.12.3+dfsg-4 Severity: normal I've been using KVM for quite some time now to run Windows XP, 2000, Vista, and Win 7. Though all the generations of KVM, video speed was acceptable. After installing qemu-kvm, video display speed inside the VM has slowed down to below acceptable level. As an example,
1. run XP 2. go to command line 3. type dir 4. repeat #3 until window scrolls Once the output is scrolling, the speed of redraw has slowed down from about 1-2s per page (in the kvm-xxx flavours of the package) to 0.5s/line (in the 0.xx flavours of the package). This is about 10x slower. - Adam -- Package-specific info: /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 75 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1000.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips : 2008.96 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 75 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1000.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 1 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips : 2008.96 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages qemu-kvm depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii iproute 20100224-3 networking and traffic control too ii libaio1 0.3.107-7 Linux kernel AIO access library - ii libasound2 1.0.22-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbluetooth3 4.60-1 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Blu ii libbrlapi0.5 4.1-4 braille display access via BRLTTY ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.20.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgnutls26 2.8.5-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpci3 1:3.1.7-2 Linux PCI Utilities (shared librar ii libpulse0 0.9.21-1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.23.dfsg1-5 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-4 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libuuid1 2.16.2-0 Universally Unique ID library ii libvdeplug2 2.2.3-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet - Plu ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-2 X11 client-side library ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu-kvm recommends: ii linux-image-2.6. 2.6.26-21 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64 ii linux-image-2.6. 2.6.32-6 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs ii linux-image-2.6. 2.6.32-10 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs ii linux-image-2.6. 2.6.33-1~experimental.2 Linux 2.6.33 for 64-bit PCs Versions of packages qemu-kvm suggests: ii debootstrap 1.0.22 Bootstrap a basic Debian system pn samba <none> (no description available) pn vde2 <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
