Title:
  Missing letters in spice client session with KVM guest

Status in xserver-xorg-video-qxl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-video-qxl package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Host: Xubuntu 13.04
  Guest: Xubuntu 14.04 with qxl graphics

  When connecting to a KVM guest via Spice client characters are not
  displayed (in graphical mode), to such extent that messages become
  unreadable/guest becomes unusable.

  This bug was reported and kind of resolved for Red Hat/Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198
  The mentioned workaround to add kernel parameter nomodeset worked for me up to now.

  Proposed resolution: Upgrade Debian/Ubuntu package to an up-to-date
  upstream release.
