I recently posted a patch on the RedHat bugzilla (bug #467038) to add
a
model attribute to the graphics element so that the different graphics
cards supported by QEMU could be selected.
Apparently that approach has been rejected in the past however, and the
preferred approach is to add a separate video element.
I've taken the patch that Daniel Berrange posted here a few months ago
that added the necessary XML handling for the new element and extended
it by filling in the QEMU driver code to make it use the model details
as well as fixing the default video model for XEN domains as per the
list of outstanding issues given with the original patch.
Doh, I was literally about to post an update of my patches when I
saw this. The QEMU stuff is a little harder than you've got, since
the -vga arg was only added in QEMU 0.10.0, so we need to detect
the syntax
- Add RNG XML schemas & website docs
My patches cover this now
- Make Xen drivers use this info for setting stdvga=1|0 config arg
- Make VirtualBox use this info in whatever way it needs
I've not attempted either of these.

Daniel
