QEMU Sonoma and Installers

I am running QEMU/KVM on Linux Mint 21 (22.04). It's working Great! I've been fighting with VMware slowness for years...

I have several VMs. Sonoma, Monterey, etc. Some migrated from VMware. Some were created fresh in QEMU. I am using OpenCore from OSX-VPN as a starting point. But I am have some very strange video problems. I have tried all different permutations of settings.

In Sonoma, if I run a installer.pkg installer, built elsewhere with the xcode pkgbuild etc... The colors of the installer make it impossible to read. Text is white on white except for the license which is white on black. And the buttons are white on white - so invisible besides the hover. Colors of other things look normal.

If I run the same installer on Monterey, it looks fine and functions fine.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My system is Mint 21 (based on Ubuntu 22.04). I'm using QEMU 6.2 from the Ubuntu repos. And my processor is a i7-8700T with only the embedded UHD 630 graphics.

See my qemu script below:
