As for Windows and VESA, I'm not sure what it's doing, but I can select all sorts of resolutions, like 1440x900. The default adaptor in the past (cirrus?) was much more limited. It must be doing some kind of BIOS thunking, but I bet it would be more efficient to have a VESA driver, no?
From VNC, you access the monitor via Ctrl-Alt-2 and Ctrl-Alt-1. It works the same.
"info mice" gives me:
* Mouse #1: QEMU USB Tablet (absolute)
Mouse #0: QEMU PS/2 Mouse
