Hi, Patches are all upstream, so just fetching the latest seabios bits (git master branch) and building yourself will work too. Great, is there an intention to rebase Seabios in QEMU to pull this in before the release of 0.15 ? Anthony doesn't want change the bios that shortly before cutti

Hi, I recently had black screen problems with QXL in 0.14.x that turned out to actually be a Seabios bug due to the default 64MB vram QXL has. It is a seabios issue indeed. I suspect this would hit 0.15.x builds too. If this is what you're hitting, then reducing the vram to 32MB is a tempo
