basic configure for "spicec -h localhost -p 5903" to work:


    <graphics type='spice' port='5903' tlsPort='5904' autoport='no' listen='127.0.0.1'/>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
    </video>

No.

As I've told dev-zero, this will not get merged into libvirt. The author of those patches is a member of upstream and the rest of the guys from upstream have agreed that until SPICE itself is merged into qemu-kvm, they will not merge these into libvirt. The SPICE patches themselves have been rejected with comments from qemu-kvm upstream and qemu upstream.

This will have to be moved upstream.

Does anybody have an idea when will spice hit qemu-kvm and libvirt?

[Comment 8 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2010-12-16 11:28:20 UTC]

no idea about qemu-kvm, but libvirt-0.8.6 has spice support.

if the qemu-people accept the pull request you can expect spice-support in qemu really soon:
