[Spice-devel] QXL driver under Win7/X86_64

[Dyweni - Spice-Devel]

 Hi List/Phil!

 I need help setting up my first SPICE VM and my issue sounds similar to 
 Phil's.

 I've created a QEMU-KVM virtual machine and built/signed/installed the 
 QXL driver (checked out from GIT), per the instructions given on the 
 wiki.

 All is fine when I run qemu using the 'std' VGA adapter.  I'm able to 
 install Win 7 64bit and use it (without any QXL/SPICE drivers in the 
 guest).  Here is the QEMU start command:
 qemu-system-x86_64 --drive format=raw,file=hdimage -cdrom win764bit.iso 
 -m 4096 -smp 6 -usbdevice tablet -monitor stdio -vga std -spice 
 port=5900,disable-ticketing


 My problem is as soon as I switch to using the 'qxl' driver, I loose 
 99% of the video.  The only video that I am able to see, is the 
 horizontal scrolling bar when Windows 7 first starts up.  Everything is 
 completely black before and after that.  This is the case even after 
 installing the signed driver (dll in system32, sys in system32\drivers).

 QEMU-KVM is build from GIT SOURCES yesterday (commit: 
 05f1737582ab6c075476bde931c5eafbc62a9349).
 It was built against Spice 0.8.1.

 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but would greatly appreciate any 
 help that could be offered here.

 Thanks,
 Dyweni
