I also tested Windows Server 2012 R2 with UEFI / OVMF instead of BIOS. This installed without issue with qxl. The guest just used a generic display driver until I could install the qxl one built by Fedora project.

Shouldn't the Windows 7 guest on BIOS behave the same way? It's kind of hard to install display drivers when you *can't even boot the Windows setup DVD.*

Or are you saying that, by design, qxl can't be used with clients that use generic VGA/VESA display modes? (but how did I get to the point of seeing BIOS load screen, and then "Starting Windows" which is certainly using some kind of VESA mode?)
