As a thought, one of the guys internally here (not on this mailing list) had some useful info about the device choices you mentioned: **************************************************************** > If you select any of the recent RHEL, Fedora guest types > when installing, you'll get the default of virtio for > net+disk, and a USB tablet.

That's if you're using virt-manager for the installations. (Possibly virt-install too, but I haven't used that in a while so don't remember its specifics.) Is that helpful?
