[Spice-devel] Multiple qxl displays from the command-line.

[David Jaša]

Hi Trebor,

What is your guest OS? The invocation differs for Linux and Windows, for
linux, you use just one device with big enough RAM:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.ram_size=134217728

for windows guests, you should use multiple qxl devices:
-vga qxl -device qxl [-device qxl [-device qxl]]

BTW, based on libvirt-generated qemu CLIs on my Fedora 20, it seems that
this is the current format:
-device qxl-vga,ram_size=134217728,vram_size=33554432
and
-device qxl-vga,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=33554432 -device qxl-vga,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=33554432 -device qxl-vga,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=33554432 -device qxl-vga,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=33554432
