Summary:
-vga std -device secondary-vga
gives multiple displays in Spice remote-viewer. This may be the best option. I haven't noticed any speed differences compared to qxl
- I don't think the Apple virtio driver supports qxl and just falls back to vga.
The second display is fixed after rebooting the guest.
Not as good but still multiple displays. I think it is using AppleCirrusGD5446FB.
-device cirrus-vga,vgamem_mb=16 -device secondary-vga
