[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-win-qxl] spice: windows qxl drivers: support x64 build

[The Ha]

Hi Alon
Test setup: Windows 7 64 bit guest, run on RHEL 6 KVM
Linux guests using xserver-xorg-video-qxl almost work.
YouTube flash inverted when using Windows Spice Client
but that is another thread.

QXL drivers tested and all fail to load. It uses generic vga driver.

* Spice-space:	qxl-win32-0.6.0.zip \
 		qxl-win32-0.6.1.zip \
 		qxl_unstable.zip

* My build: QXL spice-0.8.0 and spice-0.6.4

Please advice.
If you think Win7 64-bit is still too early for Beta test then
I will move on with only Win.x 32-bit for our test Ugrad Labs.

Can someone please help me to build a road map for this ?


Thanks
