What graphics card does Mac OS X think it's using when running in QEMU/KVM as you describe? Are you able to get different (more than 1200x800) resolutions? One of the major shortcomings of most of the "Mac OS X in a guest" efforts is that 3D hardware acceleration is disabled (unimplemented) in the guest video driver, which the Quartz compositing engine assumes will always be there. This results in weird video behavior, like certain things not showing up or for FLV video to not render in a web browser. Are you able to view web video with this Mac guest?

With a non-crap CPU it's even quite usable.
