This QEMU does not support vmvga?

    Hello, so to elaborate on the subject, I am trying to understand why I cannot select the vmvga device and start my VM, I am running CentOS7 with extras enabled, and the QEMU version is 
"# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 2.12.0 (qemu-kvm-ev-2.12.0-44.1.el7_8.1)"
My domain configuration for video is as follows and virsh edit seems to like it.

    <video>
      <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

The error message I receive when starting the VM is below.

"virsh start mydomain
error: Failed to start domain mydomain
error: unsupported configuration: this QEMU does not support 'vmvga' video device"

So I guess I'll start with the obvious, is the QEMU version too old? I thought vmvga support was added in like 0.10 or something.
