What did you do to configure this?

This works for me since ages (and I just double checked with a VM
running the text console and X) that has this in the live xml output:
<video>
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'
primary='yes'/>
<alias name='video0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02'
function='0x0'/>
</video>
<graphics type='spice' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
<listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
<image compression='off'/>
</graphics>
I've not set any options related to resizing zooming. So no --fullscreen
and no --zoom and I don't know about any other options.
Cheers,
