From 2e814a017155b885e4d4b5a88dc05e7367a9722a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabio Fantoni Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:32:27 +0000 Subject: tools/libxl: Improve videoram setting - If videoram setting is less than 8 mb shows error and exit. - Added videoram setting for qemu upstream with cirrus (added in qemu 1.3). - Updated xl.cfg man. - Default and minimal videoram changed to 16 mb if stdvga is set and upstream qemu is being used. This is required by qemu 1.4 to avoid a xen memory error (qemu 1.3 doesn't complain about it, probably buggy).
