qxl too old when booting in a qemu-kvm virtual machine

I downloaded openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 20160705 iso and installed into a qemu-kvm virtual machine. When I boot I get an error:

qxl too old doesn’t support client_monitors_config, use xf86-video-qxl in user mode

The video is set to QXL, RAM 64MB.

I searched for a resolution with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

qemu-kvm version: 2.0

Hi
What host system is qemu running on? Are you using virt-manager to start, virsh, some other method? Have you tried the latest snapshot 20160709?

Assume you’ve installed the package xf86-video-qxl.
Inspecting the package contents, I see only drivers and a library file, no configuration files.

So, it looks like qxl is implemented only as something to be called from a command line(which is in effect calling in User mode), and in general qxl is used only when you run SPICE (pls verify this is what you are trying to do).

This suggests that the way to implement is to call the qxl driver along with any desired options from within your connection command.

You’ll need to post the exact command you’re running for others to evaluate.

And, perhaps the SPICE section in the QEMU ArchWiki looks helpful…
