Let me tell you what I have done: I have updraded qemu to the noroms version. The problem was reintroduced.
Then, in the directory where I hold my images (.local/share/kvm): > mkdir bios > cd bios > ln -s /usr/share/qemu/* . > rm vgabios.bin bios.bin > copied vgabios.bin and bios.bin from the qemu source > finally, called qemu -L $KVM_IMAGES_DIR/bios/ ... bios.bin and vgabios.bin are read from the qemu source directory version, and works. Now, there are two different problems, independent. If I load bios.bin from seabios, I get the kvm error messages; if from qemu source, I do not see those messages. On the other hand, the reduction of resolution depends solely of the vgabios.bin one uses. I have tried several bios.bin/vgabios.bin to establish the independence of the effects. I had before one way to access the non-standard vga modes, like 1280x768, but now, even with vgabios.bin from the source distribution, I can only access 1024x768.
