i am also having this problem on amd64 debian sid. using qemu verion
1.7.0+dfsg-5.

on the guest system, i'm also running sid. i have version 1:13.0.1-3+b1
of xserver-xorg-video-vmware, and kernel version 3.13+56 of linux-image-
amd64.

is vmwgfx support supposed to be targeted specifically to vmware
containers, or can it generally be used with qemu?

here are some links to other bug reports of the same bug:

Title:
  vmwgfx does not work in Linux guest in kvm

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  loading the vmwgfx module of kernel 2.6.39-rc7 in kvm 0.14 results in

  [drm:vmw_driver_load] *ERROR* Hardware has no pitchlock

  and the kernel module fails.

  Consequently vmwgfx is broken, only the vmwlegacy driver works.
