[oi-dev] Scrambled text when using text installer on qemu-kvm

[Till Wegmueller]

Hey Paul

It can sometimes happen with simple Graphics and the Virtual Graphics 
cards seems to have an impact.

To be able to make an assessment I would need the full config (libvirt 
or shell script) that launched the VM and the versions involved. Also 
was this via VNC/SPICE or SDL?
