Re: [Users] Feature request: allow usbtablet and vram config via UI

Any thoughts/feedback on this one? It really is a downer to be forced to manipulate both of these via hooks. These are both pretty standard configuration items to enhance/tweak or make various guests fully functional.

Perhaps via the console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and user portals. -Highly useful in the event that a guest OS does not have the spice agent loaded nor is it available for said guest OS. -Also in the case of guest OS that simply does not want to work and play well with <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> - All Operating systems since ~1998 understand <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> and will deal with mouse events in absolute mode. Allow for vram and vram_ size to be configurable for CIrrus(VNC) and QXL(Spice) console types. Again probably best suited to have this on console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and user portals. - Default VRAM sizes are not enough to allow for larger resolutions and pixel depths at times. - Especially the case in multiple monitor SPICE, fullscreen, or VNC consoles - More VRAM is useful in the case of attempting to run accelerated applications within a QXL configured guest. The above can be altered via VDSM hooks however this is rather painful. Additionally these options or similar are configurable in other competing solutions. - DHC _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
