It's slightly out of date, I guess. The board has no built-in graphics, but it has PCI so you can plug in an emulated PCI card. From that set, VGA cards will work with TCG but not KVM (because of the memory-attribute-clash problem); virtio-gpu should work with both TCG and KVM. I've never tried to use graphics with the virt board (having no need for it), but I believe it ought to work. Feel free to experiment and update the wiki page accordingly. thanks -- PMM
