Comment 11 for bug 1428833

To be precise the gfx console issue for Linux refers to the Linux terminal, once you boot the console with the frame buffer mode.
That is standard for RedHat based systems. The workaround I posted further up inside the ticket will get around this issue (grub settings). FYI, the spice drivers from http://www.spice-space.org/download.html are not Windows 8/2012 compatible and have not been updated since 2013 anymore. We will discuss this issue offline.
