A vesa device is used by the SDL, GTK or VNC framebuffers. Don't allow the user to specify more than one of these options because kvmtool will create identical devices and bad things will happen: $ ./lkvm run -c2 -m2048 -k bzImage --sdl --gtk # lkvm run -k bzImage -m 2048 -c 2 --name guest-10159 Error: device region [d0000000-d012bfff] would overlap device region [d0000000-d012bfff] *** Error in `./lkvm': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fad78002e40 *** *** Error in `./lkvm': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fad78002e40 *** *** Error in `./lkvm': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fad78002e40 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7fae0ed447e5] ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8037a)[0x7fae0ed4d37a] (+0x777e5)[0x7fae0ed447e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7fae0ed447e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8037a)[0x7fae0ed4d37a] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(cfree+0x4c)[0x7fae0ed5153c] *** Error in `./lkvm': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fad78002e40 *** /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_string_free+0x3b)[0x7fae0f814dab] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_string_free+0x3b)[0x7fae0f814dab] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0(+0x21121c)[0x7fae1023321c] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0(+0x21121c)[0x7fae1023321c] ======= Backtrace: ========= Aborted (core dumped) The vesa device is explicitly created during the initialization phase of the above framebuffers.
