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

I am running Fedora 15 Alpha, which has been updated to SPICE 0.8.0.
This appears to cause a "black screen of death" when Windows (7 or XP)
loads the QXL driver from qxl-win32-0.6.1.zip.  spicec simply shows a
black screen, and there's nothing to do but kill the guest.

Downgrading the SPICE packages to the 0.7.x versions makes things work.

Are there protocol changes in 0.8 that make a new QXL driver necessary?

Thanks!
