Multi-head QXL support is so useful that distros have started to backport it to qemu earlier than 1.2. After discussion with Alon Levy, we determined that the existence of the qxl-vga.surfaces property is a reliable indicator of whether '-device qxl-vga' works, or whether we have to stick to the older '-vga qxl'. I'm leaving in the existing check for QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIDEO_PRIMARY tied to qemu 1.2 and newer (in case qemu is built without qxl support), but for those distros that backport qxl, this additional capability check will allow the correct command line for both RHEL 6.3 (which lacks the feature) and RHEL 6.4 (where qemu still claims to be version 0.12.2.x, but has backported multi-head qxl). * src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (virQEMUCapsObjectPropsQxlVga): New property test. (virQEMUCapsExtractDeviceStr): Probe for backport of new capability to qemu earlier than 1.2. * tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-1.2.0-device: Update test. * tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-1.2.0-device: Likewise. * tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-rhel62-beta-device: Likewise.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
