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?
Thanks in advance, Gianluca

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.

No chance for a temporary solution that just runs the spice viewer as a separate process? (Actually I'd like that better anyway, I keep doing things like closing the virt-manager window and being shocked when my virt-viewer windows goes away at the same time :-).
