Sounds like a driver issue.

Did you pass -vga qxl to qemu? I'm not familiar with qxl/spice but according
to here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#qxl

Otherwise, I would experiment with removing the qxl driver so the guest falls
back onto the modesetting driver. Although the page is a little sparse, and
grsec is no longer used, see https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Qemu as well if
you haven't already. Good luck.
