Hi Gerd, I've read the patches about the virtio-gpu, it's a nice design. As far as I know, there are two other drivers used by qemu, CIRRUS and BOCHS. I have a question about the relationship of these three drivers, is that the virtio-gpu designed to replace the other two drivers? I mean are the CIRRUS and BOCHS going to be deprecated in the future?
Would you please kindly explain this a little bit?
Actually, this is a problem by Martin Peres who is the GSoC xorg administor. My proposal is "Convert the BOCHS and CIRRUS drivers to atomic mode-setting". Martin wonder if the two drivers are going to be deprecated, there is no need for me to do the job.
Best regards, John
Hypervisors are going to support BOCHS and CIRRUS for years to come.
