[pve-devel] KVM guest: console not working with custom kernel

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

the default vga card chipset is cirrus if you choose linux as ostype


    my $vga = $conf->{vga};
    if (!$vga) {
        if ($conf->{ostype} && ($conf->{ostype} eq 'win7' || $conf->{ostype} eq 'w2k8')) {
            $vga = 'std';
        } else {
            $vga = 'cirrus';
        }
    }


I suppose that we need cirrus driver to display console. 

you can use standard vga, with adding to your vm config:

vga: std

So proxmox / the tinyVNC needs the cirrus driver?
