32-bit color graphic on KVM virtual machines

32-bit color graphic on KVM virtual machines

[shacky]

Hi.
Is it possible to have 32-bit color graphic on KVM virtual machines?
I installed a Windows virtual machine, but it allows me to configure
only 24-bit color display and it does not have any display driver
installed.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thank youv very much!
Bye.

24-bit means 8 bits per RGB channel.  32-bit means 8 bits per RGB 
channel plus 8 bits alpha, which isn't very useful on the display.  So I 
wouldn't worry about it.  (If you had a >8bpp display, that would be a 
different story, but those aren't very common.)

Of course, lots of programs use 32 bit offscreen surfaces, but that's a 
different story.
