[Bug 1308756] Re: pc 1.0 machine type regressed with -vga vmware

[Serge Hallyn]

pc-1.2 works fine for me.  I assume the following:

        },{\
            .driver   = "VGA",\
            .property = "vgamem_mb",\
            .value    = stringify(8),\
        },{\
            .driver   = "vmware-svga",\
            .property = "vgamem_mb",\
            .value    = stringify(8)

is the meaningful difference.  This then comes down again not to a
regression from qemu 1.0 to 2.0, but an unfortunately difference between
qemu-kvm and qemu.

Indeed I can work around it by using

 kvm -M pc-1.0 -m 1024 -cdrom ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso  -vga
vmware -monitor stdio -global vmware-svga.vgamem_mb=32

However updating the machine type is probably the safer thing to do.
