Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
The Libvirt driver now allows instance configuration to use video drivers other than the default (cirros), so that different video driver models and amounts of video RAM can now be specified. These values are configured by setting the "hw_video_model" and "hw_video_ram" properties in the image metadata. Currently supported video-driver models are "vga", "cirrus", "vmvga", "xen", and "qxl".

Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:26:45 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-video-driver-selection.

Description:

The purpose of this blueprint is to allow users to select 
a non-default video driver and make the video driver element to be more configurable.

This will allow users to select non-default video drivers for VNC, as well as configuring
 vram and heads for SPICE users.

Comment 11 Omri Hochman 2014-04-23 08:54:59 UTC 
Tested with openstack-nova-2014.1-0.11.b3.el6.noarch  

The image video properties can be modified :
 'hw_video_model'
 'hw_video_ram'  

Results are in libvirt.xml:
------------------------
   <video>
      <model type="qxl" vram="64"/>
    </video>
  </devices>
