+ tristate "Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device"
+ depends on DRM && PCI && MMU
+ select DRM_KMS_HELPER
+ select DRM_TTM
+ help
+ This is a KMS driver for emulated cirrus device in qemu.
+ It is *NOT* intended for real cirrus devices. This requires
+ the modesetting userspace X.org driver.
+
+ Cirrus is obsolete, the hardware was designed in the 90ies
+ and can't keep up with todays needs. More background:
+ https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2014/10/qemu-using-cirrus-considered-harmful/
+
+ Better alternatives are:
+ - stdvga (DRM_BOCHS, qemu -vga std, default in qemu 2.2+)
+ - qxl (DRM_QXL, qemu -vga qxl, works best with spice)
+ - virtio (DRM_VIRTIO_GPU), qemu -vga virtio)
