Hi,
For backwards compatibility, if a certain qemu version does not support one of the above video device arguments to -device or even -device itself, the -vga will still be used.
That will not work. You must check the qemu version. 1.2+ is safe, IIRC 1.1 will work too. Technical background: '-device VGA' (+variants) exists for a looooooong time, pretty much day one of the -device switch. Actually using it did not work though due to a nasty initialization order issue in qemu. The qemu memory api created by avi fixed it. cheers, Gerd
