But I don't understand how why it is probed successfully. the "-vga none" option should remove any vga capability in the host. I have tried this successfully on an OpenBSD guest and part-successfully on a NetBSD guest (I had to comment all references to /usr/libexec/getty Pc). Why this is not the case on a FreeBSD guest puzzles me. Is it a qemu bug? A FreeBSD bug? > Why do you want to get rid of VGA device in first place? 1) because I don't need it and 2) to test if qemu works as intended. -- Ottavio Caruso
