And when commenting on that version, I promised to work on a followup to address my concerns https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-July/msg00931.html Your repost poked me into reworking my first attempt, the result of which is below. I should probably look at a sensible split-up of these patches that would be easier to review, but in the meantime comments on my followup would be appreciated. With both patches, my tests are passing and my concerns are subdued :-). Regards, Jim From 5003420c1e4d22726c596594988169a37544f867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Xen: Improve handling of video device vram
The minimum vram values supported by libxl depend upon the device
model used. E.g. the minimum values are doubled when using QEMU_XEN,
as compared to the old QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL.
This patch introduces a function to detect whether the specified
emulator is QEMU_XEN or QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL. Detection is based on the
string "Options specific to the Xen version:" in '$qemu -help' output.
AFAIK, the only qemu containing that string in help output is the
old Xen fork (aka qemu-dm).
The detection function is then used to sanity check user-provided
vram values, and set appropriate defaults when not provided. For the
latter, virDomainVideoDefaultRAM was changed to defer setting the
default to the Xen drivers.
Note:
QEMU_XEN means a qemu that contains support for Xen.
QEMU_XEN_TRADITIONAL means Xen's old forked qemu 0.10.2
