It don't compile.  And the trivial fixes (change vga.foo field to foo field
don't work either.  No output

Just a note that there's supposed to be no output because your guest
OS (and BIOS) expect the standard VGA functionality to be there.  The
define is only useful for debugging vmware_vga or OS driver.  It's ok
to drop it if you want.

Cheers

I preffer to drop it because it has no chance of working (suspend/resume
code is not there for instance).

Once that we are there.  I did a fast try at enabling DIRECT_VRAM with
the same not working result.  Any idea if it would make things
better/fast/... whatever?

The reason that I ask is because the driver is smaller than cirrus_vga,
and it supports already lots of resolutions.

Later, Juan.

Currently it probably makes things slower.  I have not digged through
the newer SDL code deep enough, to tell if it's possible to create a
SDL surface directly from guest RAM provided it's contiguously mapped
on host -- this is what VMware does and it's one of the expected
benefits from using vmware_vga that isn't there, and I think using DGA
saves them another unneeded copy.  This would need reimplementing the
pieces guarded by #ifdef DIRECT_VRAM.

Without DIRECT_VRAM, my un-scientific test (run glxgears) show that
cirrus_vga is a bit faster (207 vs 190 fps), neither the test of the
results something to write home about.

I have another problem with the driver: depth.

I have to change s->depth to 32 in vmsvga_reset() to make it work
correctly on my setup (default qemu.git tree, i.e. nothing fancy),
running with sdl.  Any clue here?

Anthony thinks that the problem happens at the memcpy() in
vmsvga_update_rect(), but I haven't had the time to look at how to fix
it.  Any idea here?

Later, Juan.

There's a thread about this issue at
