Description of problem: When I want to use the "VGA passthrough" function Xen by having the "gfx_passthru=1" in my HVM configuration, the corresponding domain won't start. After some work, this is due to the fact that the Xen Python try to start "qemu-dm" with the "--gfx_passthru 1" option whereas it just should be "--gfx_passthru". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0.1 How reproducible: Configure a VM with GFX passthru Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add gfx_passthru=1 to a VM configuration file 2. Try to start the VM 3. Actual results: The VM won't start Expected results: The VM to start with VGA passthrough function enabled Additional info: This is the patch I propose to correct the problem (for the 64-bit package, should be the same for the 32-bit one after chaning the file path): --- usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xen/xend/image.py 2011-03-23 10:29:53.946082001 +0100 +++ usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xen/xend/image.py 2011-03-23 10:30:18.192082001 +0100 @@ -865,7 +865,7 @@ if a == 'keymap': a = 'k' # Handle booleans gracefully - if a in ['localtime', 'std-vga', 'isa', 'usb', 'acpi']: + if a in ['localtime', 'std-vga', 'isa', 'usb', 'acpi', 'gfx_passthru']: try: if v != None: v = int(v) if v: ret.append("-%s" % a)
