Qemu + AndroidX86 + Virglrenderer - No input in OpenGL + resolution switch ?

[jfgul...@gmail.com]

Hi

I configured Qemu 2.11.0 with virgl (master) support and installed the latest version of Android X86 (7.1.2).

Input works perfectly to navigate through Android menus and OpenGL games work (awesome btw!) but all input gets ignored, i.e., can't interact with games.

This is how I am launching it:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -enable-kvm \
    -m 2048 -smp 2 -cpu host \
    -device virtio-mouse-pci -device virtio-keyboard-pci \
    -serial mon:stdio \
    -boot menu=on \
    -netdev user,id=mynet,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:5555 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet \
    -vga virtio -display sdl,gl=on $@ \
    -cdrom ${ANDROID_IMAGE_PATH} \
    -hda android.img

Tried with the deprecated -usbdevice mouse (instead of virtio-mouse-pci) but still no success.

Also, what is the standard method to change the devices resolution with the new framebuffer? Are kernel command line parameters a requirement?

In all tests i made, including installation with alien in an ubuntu host, google play services crashes frequently, is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

Thanks a ton!

Some games may ignore keyboard and mouse input.
That's the problem of the apps. Complain to their developers.

At least, I can play some famous games like
Candy Crush, Defense Zone 3, etc on QEMU.

I either can't find a way to change the resolution of virgl.

Google play is known to crash frequently on i965 GPU.
But I didn't see that on virgl.
