[Bug 1781558] Re: Change default video model from cirrus to vga

 

I'm having a hard time understanding why we should change behavior here.
There was a bug in QEMU, that bug has been fixed for over two years, and
the fix should be present in QEMU packaged by any self-respecting
distro. I'm going to mark this as wontfix. If you disagree, let me know.

Title:
  Change default video model from cirrus to vga

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Change default video model from cirrus to vga

  Because of the bug of qemu[1], using cirrus video model
  is dangerous. To fix this problem, change the default
  video model, and disable cirrus forever.
