I think we need to add an explicit tag to represent video devices real soon. At very least we need to be able to indicate the type of video card - QEMU supports 4 already vga, cirrus, vmwarevga and xenfb. We probably also need to be able to indicate whether a video card supports multiple monitors / outputs, and the amont of Video RAM, etc.
agreed
in any case how about adding "multihead" and "3Daccel" to it and renaming ram to vram, something like this:
<video> <model type='cirrus' vram='500' multihead='2' 3Daccel='yes'/> </video>
Sure, vram seems fine. I think i'd call multihead 'monitors' or 'heads'.
unfortunately the number of heads might not be sufficient, e.g. with 4 heads you could have 4 in line or 2x2, the geometry and relative positioning will probably be needed in some way.
