(changed to 250 later, and recent linux - kernels now no longer have a fixed HZ, aka `tickless kernel'...) - Enabling /dev/rtc doesn't seem to help either (not included since it needs - a patch to emulators/rtc.) - -- The -smb option (smb-export local dir to guest using the default - slirp networking) needs the samba port/package installed - in addition to qemu. (SAMBA knob.) - -- If you want to use usb devices connected to the host in the guest - yot can use usbredir over the network (see below); also unless you are - running qemu as root you then need to fix permissions for /dev/ugen* - device nodes: if you are on 5.x or later (devfs) put a rule in - /etc/devfs.rules, activate it in /etc/rc.conf and run /etc/rc.d/devfs - restart. Example devfs.rules: - - [ugen_ruleset=20] - add path 'ugen*' mode 660 group operator - - corresponding rc.conf line: - - devfs_system_ruleset="ugen_ruleset" - -- Still usb: since the hub is no longer attached to the uchi controller and - the wakeup mechanism, resume interrupt is not implemented yet linux guests - will suspend the bus, i.e. they wont see devices usb_add'ed after its - (linux') uhci module got loaded. Workaround: either add devices before - linux loads the module or rmmod and modprobe it afterwards. [Not sure - if this still applies to the new libusb host code used on recent - 10-current.] - -- If you get repeated `atapi_poll called!' console messages with FreeBSD - guests or other weird cdrom problems then thats probably because the guest - has atapicam loaded, which for reasons still to be determined has problems - with qemu's now by default enabled cdrom dma. You can build the port with - CDROM_DMA disabled to disable it. [Looks like this is fixed in recent - FreeBSD guest versions.] - -- If you build qemu wihout SDL and then get crashes running it try passing it - -nographic.
