Hmm, found the issue, :-) If I do not specify VGA driver at all, meaning I do not use "vga=std" or "vga=vmware", things work as expected needing no change in any other parameter. So, it really was the VGA driver the one making "qemu -enable-kvm" not to work. As it was mentioned it was not the issue, I got insisting on other things like the virtio drivers, cpu, driver, sound driver, etc... But the suggestion of using defaults helped, since it entitled me to challenge the VGA driver... Any ways, the cyrrus driver used by default is really bad. It provides just too few configurations, an the max resolution I can get is 1280x1024 @ 16 bits color depth. Not only that is bad, but also I can't use a resolution at least proportional to the one in the host (1920x1200) so that I can expand it proportionally to the available space... So now, at least I can work with qemu-kvm again, but with very poor VGA driver. BTW, I'm wondering why there's no such a driver that auto configures resolution keeping high color depth, like virtualbox' one... So one just resizes the guest screen, and the resolution gets automatically adjusted as with NX as well, the the font can get adjusted for the common size, :-) Any ways, I still see a bug in here, by not supporting "-vga std", neither "-vga vmware", but I'd say the bug is no longer that severe, and it can be renamed (no idea how to do any of those things), :-)...
