Yes, in my DomU configuration I use:
vga="qxl"

And within the Windows 10 DomU I use the qxldod driver from the Fedora 
Project.

But after many failed attempts I did the following: I started the Domu with
xl -vvv create domu-win10-qxl.cfg
and used the qemu commandline from this verbose log output for further 
attempts. So I found out that the machine type is responsible for the 
problems.
