openmandriva can't start with vmware gpu #2863

OpenMandriva version: 4.3 ROCKS Describe the bug: boot hangs, can't start anything inside qemu while choosing vmware as vga option Steps to reproduce: start inside qemu using -vga vmware Observed behavior: hang, even in recovery or console mode Expected behavior: normal booting process Additional comment: I have the package libdri64-drm-vmwgfx installed

Basically here I am describing what I have done so far in case it may help. I can boot Cooker and ROME isos in Qemu with some variation of this command:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm Path_to.iso -drive file=/Data1/QemuVMs/iso-test.img -m 2G -cpu host -smp 2 -M pc -vga virtio -display sdl,gl=on -usb -usbdevice mouse -usbdevice keyboard -audio pa,model=hda

But there is an additional trick. Any older isos (made before # 1526) you have to boot to cli. Then remove x11-driver-input-vmmouse. Then startx and do what you want, install if you want.

I boot the installed system with this:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -drive file=/Data1/QemuVMs/iso-test.img -m 2G -cpu host -smp 2 -M pc -vga virtio -display sdl,gl=on -usb -usbdevice mouse -usbdevice keyboard -audio pa,model=hda

I have not tried it yet but this should work with 4.3/Rock.

I don't know vmware and can not help with that. OM devs, as far as I know, won't touch vmware because of the license. I could be wrong about this next bit but I would not think anyone expects OM isos to work in Qemu with vmware gpu.

Note: I am not expert on Qemu, I just learned how to do this in last few days from info from OM devs and youtube video. Knowledge wise I am a user that has been around Mandriva since 2008 and OM since it began.

Note-2: These are the Qemu packages I have installed:

The host system in this case is Cooker znver1. I have done this on Cooker and ROME hosts.
