That will not work. You must check the qemu version. 1.2+ is safe, IIRC 1.1 will work too. Technical background: '-device VGA' (+variants) exists for a looooooong time, pretty much day one of the -device switch. Actually using it did not work though due to a nasty initialization order issue in qemu. The qemu memory api created by avi fixed it. cheers, Gerd -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
