[Spice-devel] Fwd: Re: Spice display driver QLX Windows 10

[Dominique]

Hi,

The current QXL driver is not Windows 10 compatible. Is there a new 
version in development or can I force the use of the current WDDM driver?

I use version 0.1-21 from http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/qxl/

Thanks in advance,

Dominique.
