[Spice-devel] How to config video and image compression?

[John Y.]

I'm sorry that I misled you.
The guest OS is windows 7 so that I cannot use virgl.
I got the configuration from libvirt.org and I don't know which
configuration will work for me, so I pasted all in the mail.

Do you mean the default configuration the best suited for my case?
