I have cloned a running debian system onto a qemu virtual machine for testing purposes.
If I put a "vga=" statement on the kernel command line (eg. vga=795), it hangs during bootup. If I add the 'debug' statement, it hangs after the following: [ 29.125399] fb: switching to bochsdrmfb from simple I am using the following command to launch debian: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -net nic,macaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -net tap,ifname=tun0,script=no,downscript=no -m 1000 -usbdevice mouse -vnc 192.168.0.40:0 -monitor /dev/stderr $@ I can fix this by adding "vga=normal" to the command line, but I'd like to have more control over the screen resolution. Can somebody propose a fix?
