It’s not as fast as KVM HV. I haven’t tested it on the X5000 yet. It’s OK on the X1000.

PR-mode KVM is not supported on the X5000. Only KVM-HV is possible.

Usually we use a VirtIO GPU for our QEMU machines. (-device virtio-gpu-pci)

There is another possibility.

The Bochs VGA.

QEMU argument: -device VGA,vgamem_mb=256

Please note: If you want to use a higher resolution then please delete the xorg conf file with the fbdev entry and login again.

FYI because of QEMU/KVM HV e5500 PowerPC VMs: There are two VirtIO graphics controller available.

-device virtio-vga (The MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 and Void PPC work with this VGA controller)

-device virtio-gpu-pci (The MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 doesn't work with this controller. Void PPC works with this controller)

The Bochs graphics card works great with macOS.

If you have wrong colors in the virtual display then try -display sdl.
