[Spice-devel] Arbitrary resolutions on Windows 8.1

[fabrox]

Hey,

I'm currently moving my virtual machines from VirtualBox to
QEMU/KVM/Spice and even though everything is working fine so far I'm
missing a feature that is really important to me and I'm used to from
VirtualBox - Automatic setting of arbitrary resoultions for Windows 8.1 virtual
machines in windowed mode.

What I've found out on my own so far is that this is already possible
with Spice for some OS but not yet for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and
that the problem seems to be in vdagent.

There already exists a very detailed ticket on that
problem in Red Hat Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895356
It also includes a (allegedly) working patch:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1016319&action=diff

I would really like to try a patched version of vdagent to see if it
works for me then but unfortunately I'm unable to make a working build
of vdagent in VisualStudio 2015, thus I can not patch it on my own, and I
have also not found a already patched version of it anywhere on the web.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Fabian
