Hi,
With the first issue I'm not able to give you any advice as I have very
little experience with that kind of setup. For the second issue the
video RAM configuration is a bit messy as there are three values related
to video RAM. You don't need a newer version of virt-manager to fix it,
you can run this command in your terminal:
virt-xml VM_NAME --edit --video model.ram=131072,model.vram=131072,model.vgamem=65536
as these values should cover your setup. You can also use:
virsh edit VM_NAME
and find the video device and change the values directly in VM XML.
