Re: [Qemu-discuss] VGA choices

[Vincenzo Romano]

Hi.
Thanks for the feedback.

I need to have a text mode console to the server via VNC (or actually
whatever else) in case the network is not working or to operate on the
BIOS and the boot loader.
And I would like to have such a thing as lean as possible to save
resources on the host.
As of now I am using "-vga virtio" that is a full blown VGA. I am
thinking about a PC with just 80x25 screen.
