Yes I reloaded the modules. I even rebooted with kvm-80 modules
in /lib/modules/$kver/... instead of the ones from 2.6.27 kernel.

I also tried the fix that went into kvm-81-tobe, as pointed out
by Jan Kiszka.  No change here.  Which is quite expectable, since
the fix is for cirrus, but my prob appears with -vga std too.

I'll keep trying for some more time.  But I don't quite know
what to try next.  Even recompiled kvm/qemu with gcc-3.3 as
it used to use (kvm-80 used default gcc) - no difference.
Installing windows from scratch does not help either - when
it tries to display real graphics resolution instead of some
rudimentary graphics it shows during install, the screen
stops refreshing.

Thanks!
