[Spice-devel] virtio windows xp driver problems with spice

[Mark Platek]

(I broke this up into two threads, to keep things straight.)




Gerd, I can use virtio perfectly well with qemu-kvm, so it's quite
possible there are bugs in spice. Is there any debug information I can
provide that would make it easier to diagnose the fault?

Also, might you know a workaround?

Thanks,

Mark
