I regularly run NetBSD in a VM on Debian via Gnome Boxes which functions as an GUI interface to qemu. You might try setting up your cow2 VM that way initially then look through the associated troubleshooting log and configuration file (under Preferences) to see how qemu is being run. Regarding X11 display drivers I *think* you may be limited to whatever wsfb(4) is loading, or possibly vesa(4). On my current amd64 VM I do have vesa selected in /boot.cfg but ../Xorg.0.log still shows it as getting unloaded and "fb" being used. -B
