I've had similar problems running Windows 7 as a guest that were solved by installing the Windows guest tools ( http://www.spice-space.org/download.html ) and increasing the screen resolution in the guest. QXL works much better for me in Windows when the resolution is increased to something higher than 1024. Might not apply to you, but that's the only trouble I've seen with it.

laggy mouse on just one client?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi all, I'm running multiple F20 systems. One is serving Windows XP for legacy CAD programs, using qemu/kvm launched from the command line like this: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/MikeOfficeXP.img -usbdevice tablet -usb -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=2 -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=3 -parallel /dev/parport0 -m 1024 -k en-us -vga qxl -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -cdrom /dev/cdrom I connect from other F20 systems using spicy, or remote desktop viewer. The problem is that one client system (and just one) has really sluggish mouse performance using both client programs. The mouse pointer is really laggy. The other clients are perfect. Swapping mice (which are different models) between clients does not help. Why would one client have laggy mousing? Any ideas? - Mike

VLAN Bridging
by Dan Mossor 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

How do I connect a VM to a tagged VLAN? I am building a host machine that has a bonded interface (bond0) that is in turn my bridge interface (bridge0). The bond is connected to a trunk port on the switch containing tagged vlans. I want to be able to connect the VMs I'm building to one (or more) of the VLANs on this trunk port. All I can find in the documentation is an obscure reference to a 'type' modifier for the API [0] Does libvirt support this natively, or will I need to decipher the arcane world of OVS to make it work as I desire?

Xen 4.5 heading for Rawhide
by M A Young 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

I am planning to upgrade xen to 4.5 on rawhide in the next day or so. I expect that qemu and libvirt will need to be rebuilt afterwards to use the new libraries. Please let me know if this is likely to cause problems. Michael Young

Android image under libvirt?
by Tom Horsley 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Just for curiosity: Is there an easy way to run one of the intel based android images under libvirt so it can be managed like all the other virtual machines? I see intel and google provide some instructions for getting the android emulator to use qemu with an intel image, I just wondered if there was a way it could work sort of the other way round?
