You can look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (assuming X is running on :0) and see which driver it says you are using. Look for lines saying something like Loading .._drv.so containing qxl (I haven't used the X driver myself, I'm using windows guests). > Do I need to install qxl drivers on the host also? No, the host X has nothing to do with it. Actually the host doesn't have to run X at all (unless you are also running the client on it). > I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 for > the guest and CentOS 5.5 for the host. > > Brian > > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
