[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 1/1 v2] fix #1952: make vga memory configurable

Fri Nov 9 13:31:09 CET 2018
we change 'vga' to a property string and add a 'memory' property
with this, the user can better control the memory given to the virtual
gpu, this is especially useful for spice/qxl since high resolutions need
more memory
