Hi all.
I got another trouble after I using that patch, which windows 2003 32bit
guest VNC display wasn't normal,
please see the attached. In addition, windows 2003 64bit guest had a normal
display.
I couldn't understand it, anyone can help me? Thanks you in advance.
The patch is:
http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/PATCH-QEMU-Clear-bios-framebuffer-with-minimal-writes-td2511735.html
Best Regards,
-Gonglei
