Hi All,
On my Fedora 40 XFCe/MATE qemu-kvm guest virtual machine configures for QXL video. How do I install the guest QXL drivers?
Yours in confusion, -T

They're included by default as part of the kernel.
When I expand the windows size, the resolution should change automatically, but does not. All my Windows VM's automatically scale and they are using QXL as well. What am I missing?

I'm pretty sure that's not the video driver, it's the guest tools. That's certainly what it is for windows.
Try the "qemu-guest-agent" package.

It looks like the spice vdagent is running and it looks like the qemu agent didn't enable properly. If you're using the spice display, then that's probably the agent you want.

And the XFCe bug:
add support for xrandr hotplug_mode_update property / SPICE resize support https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/issues/142
The bug is five years old.
