Hello all,
I thinking about dropping vmware server and replacing it with KVM. (I'm using brand new AMD Opterons and Intel Xeon so kvm_intel and kvm_amd should be supported) I'll be virtualizing Linux (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS), Windows (XP, 2K3, 2K8) and FBSD.
I've got a couple of questions: (I've google for most of them but couldn't really find a satisfying answer)
A. I already converted my VM's to qemu (using qemu-img) and they are working OK (minus networking). How can I import these qemu raw images into virt-manager?
B. I require bridged networking on all my VMs. I already did the manual job (as in creating ifcfg-br? for each ifcfg-eth? and creating the bridge); never the less, what am I missing is: 1. Do you need to create a different tun/tap device node for each VM? 2. Any method to automate the tun/tap device node creation (and ownership) under Fedora?
C. Has anyone managed to get widescreen support under qemu/qemu-kvm?

qemu emulates a simple graphics card with a simple VGA BIOS, so you're stuck with basic VGA modes for the emulated display. Nothing about that should interfere with your ability to run VNC or XDMCP sessions at the resolution of your choosing, since that's entirely a software matter.
