+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #948717 +++ qemu-1.4.0-11.fc18.x86_64 from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository kernel-3.8.3-203.fc18.x86_64 qemu command line: ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -m 2048M -smp 1 -drive file=./Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst-test.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst-test.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst-test.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst.iso -boot c -vga qxl -display vnc=:5 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst-test.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5562-:22 -monitor stdio -usb The above commandline has “-display vnc=:5”, the problem occurs with “-display sdl” as well though. The result is pixel garbage, see attached screen shot. When using “-vga std” or “-vga cirrus” instead of “-vga qxl” it works fine, no pixel garbage. --- Additional comment from Cole Robinson on 2013-04-14 21:55:06 CEST --- I can reproduce with upstream. Grab F19 boot.iso here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC6/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso And run: ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga qxl -display sdl -cdrom ~/boot.iso -m 2048 Doing -device qxl works fine though. I also tried an F16 live cd I had hanging around and that worked fine, so maybe it's an F19 driver issue. Alon, Gerd, thoughts? --- Additional comment from Cole Robinson on 2013-05-28 01:01:01 CEST --- Ping, any spice folks want to weigh in on this? Granted qxl->vnc shouldn't be a common setup, but people tend to try it out if hitting graphical issues and wanting to eliminate spice from the equation (for better or worse). --- Additional comment from Steve Tyler on 2013-07-31 15:33:52 CEST --- Confirming severe display corruption with the "-vga qxl" option. With the "-vga std" option, there is no corruption. By blindly clicking in the upper right corner, pressing the down-arrow four times, and pressing Enter twice, it is possible to power off the VM, if the corrupt display shows parts of the Welcome dialog.
