Hmm - I'm reading the man page for qemu, and came across this sub-option to 
the -vga type option:

           std Standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions.  If your guest OS
               supports the VESA 2.0 VBE extensions (e.g. Windows XP) and if
               you want to use high resolution modes (>= 1280x1024x16) then
               you should use this option.

Since changing the network card driver worked, and vesa seems to not want to 
unload / hand off to cirrusfb, maybe we should try stdvga=1 again, but with 
videoram=32. (Actually, as an experiment, try videoram=8 and 16 also. Then 
check with lspci -vvv for the video device, and see if the size= field in the 
first Region line changes.)
