It's meant to allow using spice clients to connect to an X server directly, never mind if it is running in a vm or not. It reuses the X driver, so it has the same features (and lacks the same features).

I have no such problems, so I'd like to know why it isn't working for you. I'm using master spice+spice-protocl and just standard X clients. I am compiling against X master, so perhaps that's the problem. (or maybe I neglected to pull something and I'm actually using an old version of one of the protos). > Can someone please clarify the requirements for compiling the current XSpice > driver.

Also, I've just updated master (forced), but generally the most uptodate right now is the xspice.vN (N=5 atm). Everything means xserver and other dependencies needed at runtime (xkbcomp etc.).
