This is the same as #604844 . When you run kvm as root and $DISPLAY is not set it tries to use framebuffer console and fights with X. So either run it as non-root, give it access to your X DISPLAY (verify with xterm) or use -vnc. Severity reset to wishlist (the same as for #604844) because there's an easy workaround and because it's very rare to start kvm this way.
