I followed this guide to compile QEMU so that I could run a Raspberry Pi Archlinux image in it - which I learned how to do in this guide.
I'm trying to run x-server on the virtualized Archlinux image, but to do so, I must have a graphics device. I installed some generic drivers (i.e. Vesa) for now, but my QEMU isn't showing any graphics devices to be available.
As a startup parameter, I tried -vga cirrus
which gave me the error:
Error: Cirrus VGA not available
I then tried to have QEMU emulate a different graphics device using the -vga std
parameter, but then got this error:
Error: standard VGA not available
Where do I go from here? I have a gut feeling that this issue is due to the fact that I compiled QEMU myself for ARM. I've looked up the error message, but I can't seem to find anything relevant to my issue.
FWIW:
- The host is Ubuntu x64 12.04
