I think the vesafb or uvesafb framebuffer should work unless you boot your virtual machine in EFI mode. In that case, the efifb framebuffer should work.
For vesafb, you need to specify, for example 1024x768 in 24 bits
to get vesafb as the framebuffer in use. vesafb is not KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) capable. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt for complete details.

| yep - thx (at the real machine I do not need to pass vga=0x line to grub2, but for qemu it seems to be mandatory) |
