[Spice-devel] QXL-WDDM-DOD v0.4-1 released

[Sameeh Jubran]

Hi Fabio,

My team and I are the ones that are currently working on it.
First of all thanks for reporting the issue. In order to further
investigate the performance
issues can you please provide me with the qxl device revision that you are
using.
Moreover, please try to use the up-to-date win-vdagent which can be found
in this repository:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/vd_agent
I am not sure where the most recent binaries for win-vdagent can be found.
(if
anyone knows please reply with the link).

And as Frediano mentioned this could be an issue with the mouse as there
was set of patches
that weren't accepted which solves a performance issue caused by the mouse
mode when running
vd-agent.
