RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:

How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot win2003 32-bit guest with '-vga cirrus'
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -net none -M pc -m 2G -cpu SandyBridge -smp 4,cores=2,threads=2,sockets=1 -monitor stdio -vnc :1 \
-drive file=/home/win2003-32.qcow2,if=none,id=guest-img \
-device ide-hd,drive=guest-img,id=os-disk \
-vga cirrus
2. use remote-viewer or vncviewer connect to guest
# remote-viewer vnc://$HOST_IP:5901
3.
Actual results:
guest not display properly.
Expected results:
guest display properly
Additional info:
not install any display driver in guest.
What is the RHEL-6 status (i.e. is it a regression)?
Which driver is used by windows (check device manager)? cirrus or generic?
Did you test qxl with or without guest drivers?

1. RHEL6 has no such issue. (test on RHEL7 with qemu-kvm-1.4.0-3.el7.x86_64 hit this issue as well, so it is not a regression.)
2. Guest use cirrus driver. (has a screenshot in attachment)
3. Guest GUI work properly both with and without qxl driver.

Tested this issue with seabios-1.7.2.2-8.el7, failed to reproduce.
Command line:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -net none -M pc -m 2G -cpu SandyBridge -smp 4,cores=2,threads=2,sockets=1 -monitor stdio -vnc :1 -drive file=/home/win2003-32-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=guest-img -device ide-hd,drive=guest-img,id=os-disk -vga cirrus
Result:
Guest display normally(see attachment in this comment).
As the result above, I'd close this as dup of bug 979898.
