[Spice-devel] Updated Windows QXL driver needed for SPICE 0.8?

[The Ha]

Great, I am glad that you have it work with the latest driver.
I updated the .inf on spice-space Howto
"It should create 2 new files for QXL driver: qxldd.dll and qxl.sys
The 3rd file: qxl.inf which is originated from QXL driver folder. "

Cheers
The Ha
