I recently had black screen problems with QXL in 0.14.x that turned out to actually be a Seabios bug due to the default 64MB vram QXL has. I suspect this would hit 0.15.x builds too. If this is what you're hitting, then reducing the vram to 32MB is a temporary workaround that should help, eg -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432 > when I start with -vga std: > qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -m 768 -usb -vga std -monitor stdio > I see the seabios screen, etc. > > qemu has been configured like > ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-curses --disable-curl -- > audio-drv-list=alsa --audio-card-list=sb16,ac97,hda --disable-bluez --enable- > vhost-net --enable-spice > > I've also configured with --disable-vnc and --disable-opengl with the same > results > > Am I using this wrong, or is this a bug?
