[fedora-virt] virt Digest, Vol 74, Issue 6

[Brian Redmond]

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.
