I may not have followed all the details, but have you gotten it working
with any setup via libvirt, or only with qemu on the command line? It
could be libvirt is not granting access to all the needed host resources
correctly, like the drm node path. Check
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log and see if qemu prints and errors
