For qxl specifically: when using the xork qxl driver getting the userspace mappings right is essential because userspace will write qxl command buffers then. When using the xorg modesetting driver or wayland the worst thing happening would be display corruption because userspace will only map dumb bo's for pixel data. I'm wondering though why you are keen on getting qxl work instead of just using virtio-gpu? take care, Gerd
