Which qemu version? Which seabios & vgabios version?
Windows xp booting in 4bit usually indicates VBE doesn't work at all,
trying to enable vesafb in linux fails too then.
I havn't seen this for a *long* time. Last time was a year or so back,
while shaking out vgabios issues. Especially I've never seen that with
any qxl/spice stuff in upstream qemu. Thats why I'm wondering where
this comes from?
cheers,
Gerd
