Unfortunately reality struck shortly after that. If have a long list of problems with KVM (running in an up to date Fedora 17) with my Windows 7 guest. I've been holding off to report them, until I'm relatively sure that I have the correct set of guest drivers installed. At least this is what your new upload has done for me today. I have a list of what I had before and now and (apart from QXL) the drivers seem to have the same version. The drivers I used before came from many different sources, all with very different version numbers, e.g. virtio-win-0.1-30, RHEV-toolsSetup_3.0_39, spice-guest-tools-0.1 (and now 0.2), virtio-win-1.5.3-1. This is all very confusing. Do you think it would be possible in the future to get these version numbers somewhat aligned, so that the users know what to use? The biggest difference I see is in the vdagent and vdservice log files. In the previous versions I used, the messages contained a date and time (which seems useful). The new ones do not. Below are some messages from the old and new log versions of the log messages. The old one: 1312::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::2012-11-16">INFO::2012-11-16</a> 09:27:49,362::VDAgent::run::***Agent started in session 1*** 1312::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::2012-11-16">INFO::2012-11-16</a> 09:27:49,362::log_version::1.1.0.1009 1312::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::2012-11-16">INFO::2012-11-16</a> 09:27:49,363::DesktopLayout::consistent_displays::#qxls 1 #others 0 1312::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::2012-11-16">INFO::2012-11-16</a> 09:27:49,364::VDAgent::connect_pipe::Connected to service pipe And the new ones: 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::run::***Agent">INFO::,000::run::***Agent</a> started in session 1*** 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0">INFO::,000::log_version::0.5.1.0</a> 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls">INFO::,000::consistent_displays::#qxls</a> 1 #others 0 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected">INFO::,000::connect_pipe::Connected</a> to service pipe 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::Sending</a> capabilities: 3412::<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37">INFO::,000::send_announce_capabilities::37</a> Like I said, I have many problems with the Windows 7 guest, but the most annoying problem is that cut/paste between the host and guest does not work reliably. Usually it works one or two times after the guest boots, but then it stops. I see messages like "VDAgent::on_clipboard_grab::Unsupported clipboard format" in the log file. I can not give you the exact messages at the moment as cut/paste has stopped working again. :-( Any suggestions? </body> </html>
