I am trying to use the Video Virtio device and set it to Virtio (to get resolutions higher that 800x600). My host is CentOS 7 and my guest is CentOS 8. When I set the virtio for video - I get an add about QEMU does not support 'virtio' video device. Do I not have something loaded ? Real question is how to get video higher than 800x600. I tried every selection there Cirrus , QXL, VGA, VMVGA and virtio. Thanks, Jerry

The trick is to install spice-vdagent in the guest, and reboot.
