Re: [ovirt-users] Spice on Ovirt 3.4.4 Windows 2012 Guests

Hi Gary, I can't tell you what happens on upgrade but in order to be able to choose Spice consoles for win8/win2012 guests, drop this file to /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d: cat > /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/99-spice_for_win8_and_win2012.properties << EOF os.windows_8.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus os.windows_8x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus os.windows_2012x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus EOF and restart the engine. You won't be able to use qxl driver (and by extension multi-monitor and continuous resolution change) but the features provided by spice-vdagent should continue to work for you.
