RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description xhan 2013-05-16 02:26:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

qemu-kvm with seabios 1.7.2-0.2.gita810e4e7.el7 could not show the 
800x640 and 320x240 jpeg pictures.

In the VBE mode info, there are 800x600 and 320x200 modes.

However, if the picture is 800x600, the seabios function jpeg_decode in 
source file src/jpeg.c:jpeg_decode would fail to check because of the 
the decision (jpeg->height & 15).

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

rpm -qa | grep seabios
seabios-bin-1.7.2-0.2.gita810e4e7.el7.noarch

rpm -qa | grep qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.4.0-4.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. start qemu-kvm with seabios
   qemu-kvm -bios out/bios.bin -vnc :1 -boot 
menu=on,splash=../j800x640.jpg,splash-time=60000  -vga std  -chardev 
stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios

2. vncviewer hostip:1

Actual results:
1. 800x640 and 320x240 jpeg pictures could not be showed up.
2. 800x600 could not be displayed.
3. 320x200 jpeg can work

Expected results:
Make sure which kind of the resolution picture mode can work as splash 
image.
And make man page conform to the seabios code.

Additional info:

man qemu-kvm

...

A splash picture could be passed to bios, enabling user to show it as 
logo, when option splash=sp_name is given and menu=on, If
           firmware/BIOS supports them. Currently Seabios for X86 
system support it.  limitation: The splash file could be a jpeg file or 
a BMP file
           in 24 BPP format(true color). The resolution should be 
supported by the SVGA mode, so the recommended is 320x240, 640x480, 800x640.

Move to 7.1 as this has to be properly tested and solved upstream.
Comment 5 Gerd Hoffmann 2014-07-02 13:10:52 UTC 
Any use case for this?
If not I'd rather go disable splashscreen support in the rhel seabios builds.

Xhan has left RedHat. From kvm qe pov, we do not see any real use case for this.
It's ok disable splashscreen support.

Oh, I see it is disabled already.  Nothing to do ;)
