Description of problem
When starting the installation of Windows XP (or Windows 2003) the screen in VNC stays black while the installer is in text-mode. During the second half of the installation, where it switches to graphical GUI, the display becomes visible again.
This problem never happened on 9.0.1 and below, so is a regression in 9.1.0
Steps to reproduce
- Start the Windows XP installer
- Connect to VNC
- Screen stays black
