[PATCH qemu-server v2 0/2] qemuserver: fix virtio-gpu not being

[Kaiyang Wu]

Replace 'virtio-vga-gl' with 'virtio-gpu-gl' to use the correct variant of
virtio-gpu on aarch64, and fix the detection of libGL and libEGL libraries on
non-x86_64 architectures.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- Use the host architecture to locate the libraries (as suggested by Dominik
  Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>)
- Replace 'virtio-vga-gl' with 'virtio-gpu-gl' on aarch64 to make virtio-gl
  display option available on aarch64

  qemuserver: make base path of libGL and libEGL libraries

[PATCH qemu-server v2 1/2] qemuserver: make base path of libGL and libEGL libraries architecture-aware

[Kaiyang Wu]

'print_vga_device' assumed x86_64 library path to look for 'libGL.so.1'
and 'libEGL.so.1', which leads to missing libraries error regardless of
whether 'libgl1' and 'libegl1' were installed or not, on architectures
other than x86_64.

Make base path of the libraries architecture-aware to correctly locate
the libraries on non-x86_64 architectures.

[PATCH qemu-server v2 2/2] qemuserver: replace virtio-vga-gl with virtio-gpu-gl on aarch64

[Kaiyang Wu]

Fix the issue of virtio-gpu not being available on aarch64.

QEMU only provides the non-VGA variant of virtio-gpu-gl on aarch64.
Replace VGA variant with non-VGA variant for 'virtio-vga-gl' device,
similar to how we replace 'virtio-vga' with 'virtio-gpu' on aarch64.

Re: [PATCH qemu-server v2 2/2] qemuserver: replace virtio-vga-gl with virtio-gpu-gl on aarch64

[Dominik Csapak]

while this works, I'd probably prefer to expand our vga_map mechanism
to include the arch too.

e.g. having a 'sub map_vga_model($vga, $arch)' or
something like this which internally has maybe a type->device
map per arch? (or one per arch + a common fallback where the
different architectures don't differ)
