[Spice-devel] qxl and page flip

Well, the non-atomic "page-flip support" is blitting one framebuffer
over the other.  I wouldn't call this a solution either.  It just
happens to work ok in most cases due to lazy rendering (i.e. spice-
server not updating local surfaces unless there is a need to do that).

Ok, so how about the attached virtual hardware update?

cheers,
