Description Dax Kelson 2013-05-23 20:03:56 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to use ovirt and some virtual machines with spice results in a hang.

Fedora needs an equivalent of

rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0487.html


Which has this one line patch from Gerd Hoffmann

                 write_byte(BIOSMEM_SEG,BIOSMEM_VIDEO_CTL,(0x60 | no_clear));

                 result = 0x4f;


It looks like the RHEL6 package has other patches as well, can Fedora pull in all the RHEL6 fixes?

Or simply switch to seavgabios (f18 has packages already, f19 uses it by default).
