1) make sure that you use qxl driver and you have spice-vdagentd and
spice-vdagent running (at least two processes of the latter - one for
*DM, one for desktop environment)

2) go fullscreen (or generally, resize the window)

Spice in F18 should support arbitrary resolution so if you don't
resolution in the list, you can still resize the client, client then
sends new resolution to the agent and agent sets it.

If it doesn't work for you, the necessary versions may be in updates or
still in updates-testing.

According to my information the corresponding KVM graphic card qxl only supports up to 1920 x 1200 pixels. Is there any way to increase this limit?
