What is the proper way to change the graphics adapter of a VM? I know that oVirt uses qemu and I know qemu configuration, but where in oVirt do I change it?
I found VDSM-Hooks/qemucmdline, but that can't be the correct way?
Can I change the qemu xml somewhere?
can you please explain the use case?
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: http://www.spice-space.org/download.html Regards, René
