Hello,
being in fc13 and installing today the virt-preview repo packages, I
was hoping to get qxl vga device available as option in virt-manager
too.
In fact I see that qemu has been updated to 0.13 version from
pre-existing 0.12 in stock FC13.
Correct? or if I want to test spice I have to run from command line my
guests? In this case which interaction with pre-existing ones managed
by virt-manager?
BTW, if merge in virt-manager of virt-preview repo is planned for qxl
vga, should I "simply" see the option when I try to modify hw for a
previous gest (aka created in FC13 0.12 qemu) or should I have to
change virtual hw in xml file for the guest or in other files?
There are libvirt patches for spice support but they aren't upstream yet
AFAICT, as a result you can't get QXL/Spice by editting libvirt XML or
via virt-manager in Fedora.
When virt-manager supports QXL, it should just appear as a video model
option in VM Details->Video . The main blocker though is a graphical
spice widget which we can integrate into virt-manager proper, which
doesn't exist yet.
