Hi,

to fix the kvm issue, kvm needs to simulate a monitor attached to the cirrus card, together with an EDID eeprom delivering the correct data for monitor modes. The simulated cirrus card shoul provide this via register sr8. A sample implementation can be found at www.faumachine.org (cvs checkout, see node-pc/simulator/chip_cirrus_gd5446.c -- based on qemu -- and lib/sig_i2c_bus.c and finally node-pc/monitor.c for the EDID contents) for details how to do it.

Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Cheers,
     Stefan.
