It should show up if you specified the right devices on qemu command line,
they are listed in vdagent README, but libvirt should automatically do the
right thing if you're using virt-manager. Just to be 100% sure we are on
the same line, the agent runs inside the guest, not on the host or on the
machine running the spice client.

Hope that helps,

Christophe
