That's exactly the problem, XP allows unsigned drivers; windows 7 doesn't.
Win7 32 bit does allow unsigned (by MS/WHQL) drivers, Win7 64 bit does not.
I've tested the latest qxl driver on a Win7 32 bit installation and it
installed properly, so I don't know what problem you are trying to point
at, I don't see any different behaviour between the qxl driver and the
virtio ones.
Anyway the problem leads back to the QXL drivers; if the latest QXL
drivers
were signed and parked at
spice-space.org it would not be a big deal even
if not included in the iso; but unfortunately they are not.
Please be more specific about the signature issue you keep mentioning, I
haven't been able to reproduce any different behaviour between the qxl
driver and the virtio drivers from
alt.fedoraproject.org.
