virtio-vga doesn't need dedicated video memory, except for the (unaccelerated) vga compatibility mode. But given that there are no virtio-vga drivers for windows (yet) it'll actually runs in vga mode, so you have no advantages over stdvga. stdvga can be configured with up to 256M of video memory (-device VGA,vgamem_mb=64). This will allow higher resolutions display resolutions. Still an unaccelerated framebuffer though. cheers, Gerd
