Hey, folks - just a quick note for proven testers. The xorg-x11-drv-qxl
driver is what's used in a SPICE VM, so if you set up a default
virt-manager VM on F16 or (I think) F15 to do your testing, then the
virtual system will be using the qxl driver, and you can file positive
feedback on the xorg-x11-drv-qxl update as long as your VM's graphics
work. You can confirm whether the driver is in use just by doing 'grep
qxl /var/log/Xorg.0.log' as root, if you get a ton of output, you're
using qxl. Updates for the driver have been waiting in updates-testing
for F14 and F15 for a while, so it'd be great to get those through.
thanks!
