Does qxl2 (spice dual monitor) work with machine type q35? The vm works fine when only one monitor is selected (qxl) but wont boot if I select qxl2.
Both qxl and qxl2 work fine when the machine type is i440fx.

I install the spice-guest-tools from this link.

Server is Dell R410, Proxmox 6.0-4

works here without problems, maybe try upgrading to a current version
 
I figured out what was going on. You will notice in my config is says vga: qxl2,memory=64. When I removed the 64 from the Memory box and left it at the default value 16 the vm booted.
