I was going to suggest Compute > Templates > Blank > Edit even though I figured that wouldn't allow editing and then was going to suggest making a derivative with the needed edits.  Editing the Blank template is possible but you only get to choose how many monitors your console gets, not the emulated video card type.  Checking another not-special template gave me no further options, so I'm stumped with you on this one.  I would guess the property you seek is either read-only and not shown with the other base template details or is merged from another source.  Good luck!

Hello,

We are currently using oVirt version 4.3.10.4-1.0.22.el7. When we click on create new VM, the OS is selected as "other OS" and "optimized for" is desktop. I'm creating the VMs from Ansible. The problem is that the "video type" is defaulting to QXL due to which the VM is failing to start with an error " Exit message: unsupported configuration: this QEMU does not support 'qxl' video device."

It used to default to VGA earlier because this playbook was working earlier. So I'm guessing some config would've been changed which is causing this. But I was not able to find where this default config is set. Can you please help? I checked to see if I can set it in the Ansible playbook. But Ansible's ovirt_vm module only provides headless_mode and protocol options. It would be nice if it provided the video type parameter as well. 
Is there any config file in the engine that I can tweak to set the default values for a new VM creation?

Regards,
Ravi
