btw, what's the reason for VNC? lack of SPICE client on a particular platform?
One of my guests is running Zentyal. For some reason the console does not display very well when using SPICE but with VNC it is fine.
Zentyal is built on top of Ubuntu. Oddly, if I install a guest VM with just the same version of Ubuntu that Zentyal is built on, SPICE works fine with that.
Not sure what to make of that.
Strange Supposing it is a problem with the driver, you can perhaps try the unaccelerated version of display (so it would effectively become similar to VNC performance-wise) In 3.6 you can configure video card and protocol separately…by default QXL - the accelerated "video card" allows SPICE and VNC, and "cirrus" - the legacy card allows VNC you can try SPICE over cirrus…just need to allow that in osinfo config. There should be something like "os.other.devices.display.protocols.value = spice/qxl,vnc/cirrus,vnc/qxl", you can override that for all OSes or just your own. See [1] Thanks, michal
