We have software developers who need VMs to test their software and for
some test a display of 1280x1024 is necessary. The default cirrus
graphics card is not good enough for that.
But we have some VMs which use a Red Hat Virtual graphics adapter and we
don't know how this happened or how it is configured.
We just figured out that the difference may be connecting with SPICE or VNC.
Is there a different way to change the grapics card permanently?
You just have to install the QXL drivers in your vm and connect via
SPICE. I didn't test it in oVirt but in RHEV there's no need to change
the graphics adapter, just install the QXL drivers, as guests fall back
from QXL graphics card to standard VGA graphics card if the driver is
missing.
You can find the QXL drivers here:
