I do see a dkms-kqemu-1.3.0-0.2.pre11.noarch in Freshrpms. Should I use it?

Question? After starting my install I switch to the monitor and type
"info kqemu". I get this "kqemu support: not compiled" as output. Why? I
have the module loaded. Here's my lsmod output:
kvm_intel 29777 0
kvm 75033 1 kvm_intel
Do I need something else for this to work? I've used both qemu-kvm and
qemu. Here's my command line to start the install:
qemu-kvm -hda /data/winxp1.img -cdrom /data/winxp.iso -soundhw es1370 -m
256 -boot d -usb -usbdevice tablet
Yes, you do! You need the kqemu module to have qemu acceleration,
this is the output of two lsmod commands:
[root@linbook2 ~]# lsmod | grep qemu
kqemu 124708 0
[root@linbook2 ~]# lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_amd 19276 0
kvm 61557 1 kvm_amd
[root@linbook2 ~]#
Also, after the initial setup, keep the cdrom defined as the image
until you finish the change to standard pc. Also, to launch the vm on
a regular basis I would create a quick launch icon with the command
line cut and pasted into the command. I do not use the virt-manager.
You also need a udev entry for the kqemu module like this:
KERNEL=="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0666", GROUP="kqemu"
I put this in a file in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory and named it
60-kqemu.rules
Based on the above entry you will need to make a system group called
kqemu and add any standard users to that group to be able to use the
kqemu acceleration.
