<div>Some info below related to Windows 7 32 bit guest on Fedora 14 with QEMU 0.14 and spice...</div><div><br></div>After migrating to QEMU 0.14, my Windows 7 VM booted recognizing and installing new HW. But none was a QXL device even if virt-manager defines a qxl device and I can confirm qemu-kvm is being called with '-vga qxl'. Inside the VM there is only a plain 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter'. I also tried to manually install the QXL driver via the qxl.inf on this W7 VM with no success. Windows shows no manufacturer (and thus no further action) when qxl.inf file is selected.<div>
<br></div><div>On the other hand, I defined a spice display via virt-manager and I can successfully connect to the VM console using spicy.</div><div><br></div><div>Sound is another problem. I don't have it with ac97 or with es1370 (selected automatically when VM device left as 'default'). I can see nice parameters beins passed on the command line as '-device ES1370,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6' and Windows shows it as a problematic multimedia audio controller from unknown manufacturer on PCI slot 6. On this topic, I can also see qemu-kvm being executed with environment 'QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice'. I don't know if this can conflict or not.</div>
<div><br></div><div>According to documentation, VDAgent can be installed only on XP, not W7. I tried anyway with no success.</div><div><br></div><div>VIOSerial installs flawlessly but I don't know exactly what it is used for. I don't have and don't need serial devices for this W7 VMs, I think they are very uncommon on the Windows platform.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So currently only VirtIO storage and network, spice display (without qxl driver) are working for me on Windows 7 32 bit guests on Fedora 14 host, running latest stuff from virt-preview repo.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thank you for all efforts</div><div>Avi</div>
