When I used this command '-device VGA,vgamem_mb=128', I expect the guest to report there is 128 MB of video memory. What actually happens is the guest does not seem to know how much video memory is actually available. +Steps to reproduce: +**Mac OS guest:** +1. Run a Mac OS guest with this command: -device VGA,vgamem_mb=128 +2. In Mac OS X open the System Information application -> /Applications/Utilities/System Information. +3. Click on "Graphics/Displays". +4. Look at the 'VRAM (Total)' field. +The field only shows 3 MB of video ram. + +**Windows guest:** +1. Run a Windows (Windows XP in my case) guest with this command: -device VGA,vgamem_mb=128 +2. Click on Start->Run. +3. Enter 'dxdiag'. +4. Push the OK button. +5.
