Can you test modifying OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc:

Remove this from the end:
[OptionRom.OvmfVideo]
INF  OvmfPkg/QemuVideoDxe/QemuVideoDxe.inf {
   PCI_DEVICE_ID  = 0x00B8
 }

Add this near the 'Usb Support' section of drivers:
INF  OvmfPkg/QemuVideoDxe/QemuVideoDxe.inf

This will embed the video driver into the OVMF FD image.

I have tried this as you said. It's ok now.

Thanks,

Bei Guan
