[Spice-devel] SPICE 0.6.4 & Fedora 14

[Lauro]

Good day,

We are experimenting with SPICE on Fedora 14, RHEL 6 and Ubuntu 10.04. On Fedora
we have managed to install everything via yum:

KVM
yum -y install qemu-kvm libvirt python-virtinst bridge-utils
/etc/rc.d/init.d/libvirtd start
chkconfig libvirtd on

Bridge networking configured for KVM virtual machine on
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

VM created using virt-manager

SERVER SIDE (SPICE-Protocol and SPICE-Server)
yum -y install spice-protocol spice-server
yum -y install xorg-x11-drv-qxl

CLIENT SIDE (SPICE-Protocol and SPICE-Client)
yum -y install spice-protocol spice-client
yum -y install xorg-x11-drv-qxl

When we start the spice server (Fedora 14) like this:
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm /var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu.img -vga cirrus -spice
port=5939,disable-ticketing -full-screen -enable-kvm

and client (Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10.04):
spicec -h 192.168.1.10 -p 5939

We get a little window for the client which toggles to fullscreen when we press
SHIFT+11.

NOTE: If we try -vga qxl we get a little window with the next message "error: no
suitable mode found. error: unknown command 'terminal'. out of range pointer
0x80220000 Aborted. Press any key to exit."

We have tried option -qxl 4 as we wan to set a multiple-monitor setup but we get
'qemu: -qxl: invalid option'. This feature is important for us because we have
developers that work in different platforms, and normally they have up to four
monitors with different sessions in each. 

We have only begun to play around with SPICE, and we are very impressed with its
capacity.

Looking forward for any advice.
