I have trouble understanding the KVM graphics acceleration, or getting QXL driver to work. From my understanding I would just need to install the package xserver-xorg-video-qxl and everything would be fine. However, I can't see QXL driver being used:
Code: Select all
lsmod |grep qxl
Code: Select all
lshw -c video

modprobe -v qxl
insmod /lib/modules/3.16.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'qxl': Invalid argument
My questions:
1) Where is the connection between /lib/modules/3.16.0-6-amd64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl.ko and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/qxl_drv.so, which is being installed by package xserver-xorg-video-qxl?
2) How do I load the driver to take advantage of the graphics acceleration?
Running Debian 8 with LXDE on CentOS 7.
Thanks,
