Description of problem:
So the guest fail to  start X Window after imported to RHEV, although its X Windows works well before conversion

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-v2v-0.5.2-1.el5
v2v-libvirt-0.8.0-2.el5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# virt-v2v -f /usr/share/doc/virt-v2v-0.5.2/virt-v2v.conf -ic esx://10.66.65.108/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -osd 10.66.90.115:/vol/ovirt1/auto/v2v/export ESX4.0-RHEL3.9-i386
unknown filesystem /dev/fd0
virt-v2v: No app in config matches distro='rhel' name='kernel' major='3' minor='9' arch='i686'
virt-v2v: ESX4.0-RHEL3.9-i386 configured without virtio drivers

2.Import the VM to "Virtual Machine" tab 
3.Run the VM
4.#startx 

  
Actual results:
1.Fail to start X Windows. 
2.The video driver is still vmware

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "vmware"
	VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
	BoardName   "VMWare"
EndSection

Expected results:
Start X Windows successfully

Same in ESX3.5-rhel39-i386
Comment 4 Rita Wu 2010-05-06 06:24:37 UTC 
before conversion:there is no cirrus
after conversion:
# lspci |grep -i cirrus
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446

Though in guest, cirrus is indeed installed. And X Windows start successfully after I modified the XF86Config as:  
Section "Device"
 Identifier  "Videocard0"
 Driver      "cirrus"
 VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
 BoardName   "VMWare"
EndSection


So I think it should not only install cirrus, but modify the config file of X11.
Comment 5 Rita Wu 2010-05-07 10:44:36 UTC 
For ESX4.0-RHEL39-x86_64, after conversion, the video driver will become "vesa" automatically.
Comment 6 Matthew Booth 2010-05-10 15:45:43 UTC 
Could you please attach the output of virt-v2v with LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1, and also the contents of xorg.conf prior to conversion?

Comment 10 Yewei Shao 2010-05-13 12:19:45 UTC 
For ESX3.5-RHEL54, the BoardName is still "VMWare".

Hi Matt,

In virt-v2v-0.5.4-1.el5, the video card driver can be converted to "cirrus" automatically, but pls pay attention to the BoardName, it's  still "VMWare".
 Identifier  "Videocard0"
 Driver      "cirrus"
* VendorName  "Videocard vendor" *
* BoardName   "VMWare"           *

I guess it should be

 Identifier  "Videocard0"
 Driver      "cirrus"

Or

 Identifier  "Videocard0"
 Driver      "cirrus"
* VendorName  "Videocard vendor" *
* BoardName   "Cirrus Logic GD544x"*
Comment 13 Matthew Booth 2010-05-24 14:31:12 UTC 
Yeah, that's a nit. Somebody's opened bug 595264 about that. Given that it doesn't cause a failure, I'd prefer to track updates to VendorName and BoardName separately.

OK, so verified this bug on v2v-0.6.0-1.el5. Now the video card driver can be converted to "cirrus"
Comment 15 Matthew Booth 2010-07-16 16:17:57 UTC 
This was released in virt-v2v-0.6.0-6.el5
