Description

libvirt leaves the policy up to qemu, so make this argument on the upstream qemu mailing lists first. Marko, I understand what you're saying, but libvirt explicitly leaves this kind of decision up to either qemu or to management applications using libvirt (e.g., ovirt, virt-manager), so I have to close this as NOTABUG. I'm sure that there are places where we've failed to follow that rule, but in general we try to honor it.

That said, we should probably open bugs against virt-install and virt-manager so that default creation of new guests prefers vga where appropriate, rather than deferring to hypervisor defaults.

I've now proposed this change in the upstream mailing list: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg03274.html Per Eric's suggestion I'll clone this bug against virt-install and virt-manager. Thanks. |
