N.B. depth is still screwed up with VMware vga but the fix for that looks a
bit more non-obvious.  This VBE issue has been a long standing problem
though and I suspect it effects other guests though.


I've tried booting Ubuntu 8.10/9.04 using '-vga vmware' on various versions of
kvm and qemu.  The result is always ok video during BIOS post, but garbage
during pre and post X.  Would this be a symptom of the 'VBE' issue that
you mentioned?

Try the latest qemu git.  vmware vga should work there.

I'm not sure about qemu-kvm. It depends on whether the changes survived the merge.
