Dear Maintainers,

Apparently (and according to its documentation) this library (and libvirt as
well) still defaults to a "cirrus" graphics adapter for created VMs though that
default was changed to 'stdvga' in qemu over a decade ago [1] for performance
reasons [2].

Could you please update the default to either match that of qemu (stdvga) or
maybe a better option (among qxl, virtio, vmware, vbox), forward the patch
upstream, and maybe submit a similar bug to libvirt so they update their
default as well?


Best regards,
