hello,
this seems to work for me.
I'm able to run my w2k3 vm with vga+vnc and then I'm able to change to
qxl+spice and it works again!
When booting the guest I get the os desktop console inside the "show
graphical console" window and I can also start
spicec -h localhost -p 5900
from a terminal and so "acquire" the console.
Sound and video work (tested only some youtube videos).
In attach a .png with details from inside the vm.
Steps done:
- baseline: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jforbes/virt-preview/fedora-14/SRPMS/qemu-0.14.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
- download your patches but used only from 0002 to 0006 (0001 already
applied entirely in the sources above) and put inside the SOURCES
subdir
- patched qemu.spec (see attach resulting from diff -u qemu.spec.orig
qemu.spec.new)
- rpmbuild -bb qemu.spec
- installed :
# rpm -Fvh *0-3*rpm

   4:qemu-kvm               ########################################### [ 80%]
   5:qemu-kvm-tools         ########################################### [100%]

Is w7 supposed to work too, so that I can go and test or will I need
newer qxl drivers than 0.6.1?

thanks
Gianluca
