[Spice-devel] settings for qxl memory size

[Davide Canova]

Thanks for your reply,
I did more tests with this new patch for qxl, but it still doesn't work:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-01/msg01405.html

I get this error in the logs:

main_channel_link: add main channel client

I can provide more details or do more tests if useful.

Our test system is Debian Wheezy, with all packages from official
repository except seabios 1.7.1 from experimental, spice 0.12.2 and
spice-protocol 0.12.3 from experimental but recompiled, xen-unstable
(4.3) from source with patch.
We tried both qemu 1.3.0 from Xen repository and upstream unstable.
The client has spice-client-gtk 0.16, spice 0.12.2, spice-protocol
0.12.3 and usbredirection 0.6 installed.
The domU is Debian Wheezy (all packages from official repository)
started with these arguments:
