I’m having trouble allocating more VRAM to my QEMU virtual machine. Currently, I’m using the following command to launch my VM:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot menu=on -drive file=QEMU -m 2G -cpu host -vga virtio

Can anyone help me figure out how to increase the VRAM allocation in QEMU?

    If I’m reading correctly, there isn’t a modern GPU driver for QEMU that supports customizing VRAM?

      Qxl does, it’s fairly modern.

      Otherwise you have virtio and virglrenderer, which are as modern as it gets this side of pcie pass through or intel’s sriov.
