Very nice to have found the actual issue, I did not think of looking in libvirt issue.

So what happened in my case was just that Void upgraded libvirt package underneat and I got the fix.

@X41 Thanks for clarification.

I can live by not using qxl for now and I can wait qemu 6.2.0 coming down to my distro. As being an ordinary user it is sometimes hard to figure out where the true bug is.
