Attempt of qemu-kvm-0.14 patching via Gerd’s Hoffmann “spice/qxl: locking fix for qemu-kvm” on F14

Following bellow is attempt to test mentioned patch to resolve problem with loading KVM with “-vga qxl” by /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (v. 0.14) on Fedora 14 ( Libvirt Preview Environment ) . View : http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/84704/. Test was successful for SL6,F14,W2K3,W7 KVMs (without QXL driver installed) and failed on Ubuntu 10.10 KVM no matter of presence or absence of QXL driver.
Download corresponding SRC RPM :-
# wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-14/SRPMS/qemu-0.14.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
Install it :-
# rpm -iv qemu-0.14.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
# cd
#cd rpmbuild/SPECS

Patch ../SOURCES/qemu-kvm-0.14.0.tar.gz via Gerd’s Hoffmann “spice/qxl: locking fix for qemu-kvm” .Then build

[root@fedora14 SPECS]# rpmbuild –with x86only -bb ./qemu.spec
