[Bug 1795799] Re: Cirrus video, graphical corruption, bad fonts

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another 
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be 
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state 
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as 
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a 
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  Cirrus video, graphical corruption, bad fonts

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The error
  ===

  I started qemu by

  `shell
  $ ./qemu-system-i386 -serial stdio -cdrom /dev/cdrom -vga cirrus
  S1111111111S1111111111S1111111111S1111111111▒*n*n*n*n
  `

  with the original suse7.0 cd 1 in the cdrom drive (I think
  https://archive.org/details/suse-7.0_release_i386 has the image).
  After some console output (that uses a vga framebuffer which seems to
  work fine) the suse installer is started. It is displayed mostly
  correct, but several text passages are completely garbled.

  I noticed the same type of corruption when trying to run an old XF86
  SVGA Server on a SuSE 6.2 System using the `-vga cirrus` option.

  Therefore I think that the cirrus emulation might not work as intended
  any more.

  Qemu version
  ===

  I used  qemu-w64-setup-20180815.exe provided by
  https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/

  ./qemu-system-i386 -version
  QEMU emulator version 3.0.0 (v3.0.0-11723-ge2ddcc5879-dirty)

  Hope you can fix it.

  Best regards!
