Details please.When I start a windows xp guest with -vga qxl and no qxl driver installed I get a 16 color (4 bits) display mode, you notice it straight away because it's just ugly.
Which qemu version? Which seabios & vgabios version?Windows xp booting in 4bit usually indicates VBE doesn't work at all, trying to enable vesafb in linux fails too then.
I havn't seen this for a *long* time. Last time was a year or so back, while shaking out vgabios issues. Especially I've never seen that with any qxl/spice stuff in upstream qemu. Thats why I'm wondering where this comes from?
cheers, Gerd
