Hello!

I can't find any way to change my video adapter and increment the RAM, if I edit directly the XML i lost my changes.

There is a copy of every XML in the RAM for faster access. To edit a XML properly you need to use virsh edit NAME or workaround this problem with manual copying.

Did you reboot your guest?

Can you upload your XML (with and without the changes you made) so I may reproduce this issue?

This is the actual XML config file: http://pastebin.com/Pu49BUaD

I try to change the line 71 putting ram='130000' and for video='vmvga' but nothing, virsh replace my 'vmvga' with vga

And this is my grapfhic card on win7

scheda_grafica_win7_virtuale

I try to follow this guide: http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/using-vmware-vga-kvm-windows-guests but i don't know how to put the "qemu-kvm -vga vmware ..." parameter so i try to change my XML configuration.

Thanks
