From: Peter Wu Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 17:21:24 +0100 Subject: hw/i386/pc: fix regression in parsing vga cmdline parameter Git-commit: a88c40f02ace88f09b2a85a64831b277b2ebc88c When the 'vga=' parameter is succeeded by another parameter, QEMU 4.2.0 would refuse to start with a rather cryptic message: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux -append 'vga=792 quiet' qemu: can't parse 'vga' parameter: Invalid argument It was not clear whether this applied to the '-vga std' parameter or the '-append' one. Fix the parsing regression and clarify the error.
