2 tristate "Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device"
3 depends on DRM && PCI && MMU
7 This is a KMS driver for emulated cirrus device in qemu.
8 It is *NOT* intended for real cirrus devices. This requires
9 the modesetting userspace X.org driver.

15 Better alternatives are:
16 - stdvga (DRM_BOCHS, qemu -vga std, default in qemu 2.2+)
17 - qxl (DRM_QXL, qemu -vga qxl, works best with spice)
18 - virtio (DRM_VIRTIO_GPU), qemu -vga virtio)
