Oh yes, the wonderful confusing world of default devices ;)

So, if you run qemu with "-nodefaults" it will not add those two
devices.

If you add a video card manually (via -device or config file entry) qemu
will not add the default video card.

Likewise, if you add a NIC manually, qemu will not add the default
ethernet device (and IIRC creating the default netdev will be skipped
too).

cheers,
  Gerd
