You definitely don't want that option, you want one of the virt ones, it's likely easier to do it via cmd line
I didn't, I chose the "virt" VM to create, but, as I said, I wound up with VM with no video hardware, no Spice server, and no X, and the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
352.678] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 352.683] (EE) no screens found(EE) [ 352.688] (EE) Please consult the Fedora Project support at http://wiki.x.org for help.[ 352.692] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[ 352.695] (EE) [ 352.743] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.I'm trying various combinations to see if this can be fixed. If anyone is successfully running X on arm, in a qemu VM, can you share your configuration?
