[Spice-devel] Ubuntu 14.04.2 guest resolution only 640x480

[Bob Doolittle]

I have confirmed (by checking the Xorg.0.log and searching my disk) that there is no QXL driver installed on my system.

But it's been over a year since the bug was filed about the Ubuntu package dependency conflicts. There must be some solution I'm missing.

I downloaded the driver source, but it won't build because it complains about some package version conflicts.

Are you guys aware of this problem? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
  Bob
