This way, your desktop/server doesn't need to run over QEMU.<br><br>See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/tree/README.xspice . You won't get all of the nice features however, mostly
only display+inputs for now.<br><br>Afaik, there is no way to export your current desktop (linux or windows) with Spice. That would be neat to have.<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
