A comment in a duplicate bug of this states the following:
"Virsh adds video as default like:
<video>
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
</video>
Matched the cmdline: -device qxl-vga
The default of libvirt is:
<video>
<model type='cirrus' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
</video>
Matches the cmdline: -device cirrus-vga,id=video0
Switching back to the default cirros graphics console makes it working again.
Also type='vga' which matched qemu-cmdline "std" works.
So both qemu defaults (cirrus = old, vga = new), and the libvirt default (cirrus) work.
But the qxl as selected by virt-manager fails."
So it seems like this problem will only occur if virt-manager is used to create the virtual machine. Am I understanding that correctly?
