## Customized Graphics
vagrant-libvirt supports customizing the display and video settings of the
managed guest. This is probably most useful for VNC-type displays with multiple
guests. It lets you specify the exact port for each guest to use deterministically.
Here is an example of using custom display options:
```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provider :libvirt do |libvirt|
libvirt.graphics_port = 5901
libvirt.graphics_ip = '0.0.0.0'
libvirt.video_type = 'qxl'
end
end
```
