I'm not sure what you mean by initial depth. The guest OS will boot and
see the hardware as a generic vga compatible card, and use whatever
resolutions it would have used on any other vga card. Then when the qxl
driver is loaded it can support more resolutions and depths, but which
ones are used depends on how the guest os/drivers are setup.
