[Qemu-discuss] Rotate graphical output of vm

[Dennis Böck]

Dear Qemu-list,

I would like to rotate the graphical output of a vm. I tried it with a Fedora 
17 and a OpenSuse 12.2 guest with vga option -vga -qxl and -vmvga and: xrandr 
-o left, but I got the error message:

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 129 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (RRsetScreenConfig)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12

Also my try to change the xorg.conf in SLES11SP1 did not change the rotation, 
because the Xserver log says: "Option "Rotate" is not used"
The only vga option which worked partly is: cirrus. But with cirrus the 
graphical output is not displayed correctly in my vnc-viewer.
I tried it with a SLES11SP2 host (Kernel 3.0.13-0.27) and a Fedora17 host 
(Kernel 3.3.4).
Any ideas?

Best regards and thanks in advance
Dennis
