We recently removed a workaround for older Qemu versions in the
framebuffer driver which caused problems on Qemu > 1.0 (see
https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/243).

Can you try a newer Qemu version?

Alternatively you could "reverse apply" the committed patch
(https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/7d86edc355dcb2e776ae0ef445a4b8c277f0afda).
