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?

    Not sure, but maybe the QXL driver will help:

    qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size_mb=128 -global qxl-vga.ram_size_mb=128

      It’s an improvement, but 500MB+ would be perfect.
