So, give it a try with qxl driver if you did not yet. In case you need
to package it too, source is:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/

Please, let us know about your fail/success and in case of new issues,
you might want to share the vm's xml (libvirt) / qemu command line as
some arguments are necessary there as well.

Best,
