Hello Attila.

So the admins are using a Web interface to QEMU.  Which one?  What -vga
option is it using?

Perhaps when in GRUB, press E to edit the linux boot command-line and
append to it: nomodeset

IIRC there had been discussions about QEMU Bochs graphics and such, but
I can’t find them.

I don’t understand this.  Can others help?

Regards,
Florian
