No. It's a regression introduced in last version. It should work using cirrus vga (can you confirm, please?) It happens because for the specific range std vga is relying the memory will be, it do a cpu_register_physical_mem(). When kvm tries to create a new piece of memory in this place, it's marked as already existant. There are some quick hacks, but I'll be trying to work on a proper fix in the following days. -- Glauber Costa.
