Hi List/Phil!

I need help setting up my first SPICE VM and my issue sounds similar to Phil's.

I've created a QEMU-KVM virtual machine and built/signed/installed the QXL driver (checked out from GIT), per the instructions given on the wiki.

All is fine when I run qemu using the 'std' VGA adapter. I'm able to install Win 7 64bit and use it (without any QXL/SPICE drivers in the guest). Here is the QEMU start command: qemu-system-x86_64 --drive format=raw,file=hdimage -cdrom win764bit.iso -m 4096 -smp 6 -usbdevice tablet -monitor stdio -vga std -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing


My problem is as soon as I switch to using the 'qxl' driver, I loose 99% of the video. The only video that I am able to see, is the horizontal scrolling bar when Windows 7 first starts up. Everything is completely black before and after that. This is the case even after installing the signed driver (dll in system32, sys in system32\drivers).

QEMU-KVM is build from GIT SOURCES yesterday (commit: 05f1737582ab6c075476bde931c5eafbc62a9349).
It was built against Spice 0.8.1.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered here.

Thanks,
Dyweni

Hello,

I am desperately trying to get SPICE running under Fedora 15 and having real issues with QXL. I have compiled the QXL driver under Win7/X86_64, copied the .dll and .sys to the relevant WindowsSystem32 and rebooted but
when signing back in QXL is still not being detected. I have followed

http://spice-space.org/page/WinQXL#Detailed_Instructions:_Build_QXL_on_Windows_7_64_bit
[1] to the letter. This is the QEMU start line, which was generated by
virt-manager, if that helps:

-spice port=5900,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -device

Any ideas would be most gratefully appreciated ?
