ok, thanks, a lot of our customer use qxl on x86 before, so it still need

to supoort qxl on arm64.

That matches my understanding.

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,
