How do you apply patches and then compile them?

I'm currently stuck on QEMU 9.0.2 due to a windows 4k display bug. The patch fix is here: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/2025 … sk.ru/T/#u
How can i upgrade to the latest QEMU 9.x for arch and then apply this patch?

You need to download the source code, patch it and then build it yourself.

Thanks! i was able to patch and compile the qxl driver fix for running Win11 in qemu v9.2.3 with multiple 4k monitors.

hw-display-qxl.so

rename to hw-display-qxl.so and place in /usr/lib/qemu/
