QXL driver causes black screen in Arch QEMU guest

Hello,

I'm trying to setup an Arch guest running in KVM-QEMU. Everything works as expected until I install the xf86-video-qxl package.

On a fresh Arch linux (guest) installation, I can reproduce my problem with the following commands:

pacman -S xorg xorg-server xorg-xinit i3
echo "exec i3" > ~/.xinitrc
pacman -S spice-vdagent
systemctl enable spice-vdagentd
systemctl start spice-vdagentd
pacman -S xf86-video-qxl

Before installing the xf86-video-qxl package, startx succeeds and i3 is loaded. However, after installing the xf86-video-qxl package, calling startx results in an error (see end of post). If I call sudo startx instead, the X-server seems to start up properly (according to the logs), but the display freezes in a black screen with some random artifacts that appear to be text.

Below is the Xorg.0.log file for sudo startx

I'm invoking the guest system with

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot order=c -drive file=storage/sda,format=qcow2 -m 6G -smp cores=2 -vga none -device qxl-vga,vgamem_mb=128 -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing -device virtio-serial-pci -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent -netdev bridge,id=hn0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1 -daemonize

As a reference, I setup a Manjaro guest and started it with the same qemu command. After installing the spice-vdagent and xf86-video-qxl driver, as well as changing the "vesa" driver to "qxl" in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf file, the QXL driver works as expected. This leads me to believe that the problem must be related to my guest-setup and not to my host system.

Additional things that I've tried:
-Booting the guest with nomodeset
-Defining a "Device" Section in a custom xorg configuration file with Driver "qxl"
-Deleting all xorg configuration files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.xonf.d/ and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (empty by default)
-Deleting the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Am I missing some essential configuration step?
I appreciate any help.
Greetings,
wuzz

Re: QXL driver causes black screen in Arch QEMU guest

echo "exec i3" > ~/.xinitrc

That's not a proper way to create an ixinitrc on archlinux, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit#xinitrc

-vga none -device qxl-vga,vgamem_mb=128

Where did this come from and are you sure -vga none   is correct ?

Have you checked usr/share/doc/xf86-video-qxl/spiceqxl.xorg.conf.example ?

Re: QXL driver causes black screen in Arch QEMU guest

I have been running arch guests with qemu+kvm+libvirt+qxl on CentOS 7.x hosts for about three years but have been having the same issue as wuzz describes since xf86-video-qxl-0.1.5-6. Downgrading fixes the problem. I'm probably downgrading more than I really need to...

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-dummy-0.3.8-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4+12+ge0bce0d-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-qxl-0.1.5-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I haven't had the time to delve deeper. It has been a few months now I was hoping this would've been noticed and fixed upstream by now, given that it completely breaks Xorg.
