Passing “-vga cirrus” reduces the display size. The command “man qemu” says: -vga type Select type of VGA card to emulate. Valid values for type are cirrus Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color depth in the guest and the host OS. (This card was the default before QEMU 2.2) So presumably the VPS is using an old QEMU or passes -vga cirrus. Regards, Florian
