Comment on HOWTO: Migration from VMWare to KVM (Linux) by acmelab68

@Fabian Ritzmann
I know. Support for USB, Serial ATA and Gigabit Ethernet, according to innotek, will be handed over to the Open Source community, and you can already use it now, for non-commercial purpose. And having Sun by their side is not necessarily a drawback, as less as it is with RedHat for libvirt.
But where’s the point? This is an HOWTO for KVM, and not for VirtualBox anyway.
But as soon as I find a problem with VirtualBox, I will report on that, too

Depending on your use case, you might be better off with VirtualBox. Would have made for a short blog however, without all the VMware image conversion and network adaptation…

Ok, another catch:

I recently updated to fedora 12 and now the compile process halts with:



wizardpen.c: In function ‘DeviceInit’:

wizardpen.c:636: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘InitButtonClassDeviceStruct’ from incompatible pointer type

/usr/include/xorg/input.h:274: note: expected ‘Atom *’ but argument is of type ‘unsigned char *’

wizardpen.c:636: error: too few arguments to function ‘InitButtonClassDeviceStruct’

wizardpen.c:662: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘InitValuatorClassDeviceStruct’ makes pointer from integer without a cast

/usr/include/xorg/input.h:280: note: expected ‘Atom *’ but argument is of type ‘unsigned int’

wizardpen.c:662: error: too few arguments to function ‘InitValuatorClassDeviceStruct’

After a bit of a search I found this working patch:

Happy compliling!

( Still, this is the only tutorial that I found and that works, so, again, many thanks )

Hm, strange. Unfortunatelely I do only have one System, wher e I can test it, and this is a GT260.
But I didn’t test it against 192.81.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedbacks.
As soon as I find a bit time, i’ll have look in to it.

Regards,
Andreas

@professorjwn
“I am speaking Quadro cards, though GeForce supposedly should work as well”
GeForce7950 is the last known to work. I’m not familiar with the Quatro series, but is the last know card, that supposed to work with the glasses?

Btw. Thanks a lot for sharing this

Fantastic! Thanks so much for the patch and script. It worked perfectly for me with VMWare Server 2.0.2 under Fedora 12 x86_64.
