If you use linux, you can install a spice client easily by e.g.: sudo apt-get install spice-client or sudo emerge spice-gtk Then connect to your guest with: spicy -h host_ip -p port If you use windows, download a binary from: http://spice-space.org/download.html > > Is a hardware monitor capable to display the QXL format?

Any monitor is capable QXL format, actually spice display is not relevant to hardware monitor. > A change in the guest would be okay, but I still must be able to use the > existing client environment... > If you want to use VNC for display, pass "-vnc :1" to qemu command line. This way, VNC server is running in QEMU, not guest, you donot need to change anything in guest. -- Best Regards, Dunrong Huang
