Hey all, Using a high-end Fedora 20 host, I get very poor choppy performance running flash full-screen in a Windows VM. I need to use Windows due to DRM stuff (nflsundayticket.tv). I've tried different virtual graphics adapters, but nothing helps. Attempting 1920x1080. Flash 15. Using remote-viewer or virt-manager, spice, QXL is set to 64 MB RAM.
Some googling suggests that QXL just can't handle 1920x1080 flash fullscreen. Using VirtualBox gives pretty flawless performance at 1920x1080. But I want to use virt-manager / virt-viewer and KVM, of course :) I've also had success using VLC to stream the non-maximized flash player from the windows guest to the host, and then VLC scales up on the host (using host hardware acceleration, I think). But this is a bit of a pain to manage. One option I've read about is passing through a graphics adapter. My host machine has my primary nvidia card, but it also has the onboard Intel adapter that I don't use. Maybe if I can pass this Intel card through, I'd get the performance I'm looking for. From what I can tell, this isn't quite ready for primetime. I know about the 64bit vram bar, but I haven't tried it for this. Would it help? Any other ideas? Thanks, Greg Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc.
