Running the Bionic ISO like: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -smp cores=4,threads=2 -boot d -m 2048 -enable-kvm -vga qxl -vnc :21 -cdrom ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso
Attaching like: $ vncviewer FullColor=1 AutoSelect=0 10.245.168.42:5921 (alternatives on tigervnc) Well for me it had "-k de" as well :-) Then boot into the "try Ubuntu" live CD mode. There opened a terminal to loop on xrandr. Running the loop of above in that guest to crash it after a while.

Running the loop again with the same setup - no crash in 15 minutes - assume that means good now. I'd be glad about someone else checking the result as well, best someone formerly affected by it.
