what do you mean “forces”?
you should be able to switch to cirrus (which forces vnc) or even use just the vnc on qxl

It should work the same. Just for SPICE+VNC mode you need to pick which one you want to use (then the invocation is taken from teh parameter)
We don’t have a concept of “preferred” console, though…if you want to use only one then don’t use SPICE+VNC in the first place

hm…doesn’t seem to be supported:/
worth a bug or contribute a fix:)
