[Users] f19 guest in oVirt 3.2.2 considerations

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Successfully installed f19 x86_64 guest desktop via pxe.
Vm configured in oVirt as other linux

run yum update after install

qemu-kvm process command line on host for this VM contains:

-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=671088

On F19 VM xorg qxl driver automatically installed and used and also
spice-vdagent
I had to manually install ovirt-guest-agent from standard fedora repo
--> perhaps it would be nice to have it some sort of automatically
installed in oVirt guest... how?


I put guest in full screen, aka in my setup 1680x1050
Able to use gnome 3 even if quite slow.

As soon as I start firefox and begin to use it I get this in Xorg.0.log

Is there any way to customize spice video memory?
