An ls would have done. Actually, this is less then ls, the file might not
be there. Anyway, assuming ls shows it there (I'm not that much of a skeptic),
maybe I didn't understand you correctly - is the black screen from the start,
i.e. including the BIOS stage? No idea otherwise, maybe make sure the qxl
vgabios file is correct (checksum and compare to upstream I guess). But it
would be bizzare if it weren't.
