I recall that ubuntu was shipping a broken version of QXL driver so
thats likely it. There could also be issues with libvirt or qemu but
to be sure this is not an issue in Boxes itself, you can try launching
the same machine in virt-manager (You'll have to add session
connection to it: virt-manager -c qemu+unix:///session).
