No, by new I mean 0.6. There are no major changes that break the driver between 0.6 and 0.8. Rereading the bottom part (well, actually first time reading, sorry) I think rebuilding will work, and if you are using RHEL 6 you have to, like you said RHEL 6 has a too old spice server (0.4.2). > > At the bottom of this page, I susgested that I should: > Remove old spice server, spice dependency and maybe qemu-kvm if > spice 0.8 requires a new set of dependency > > Do you know for sure that I only need to rebuild spice server 0.8 ? > The devil is in detail when I start compiling 0.8 and start seeing > "Not found, requires headers x.y.z , Missing libs version blah...". > So, shall I commit rebuild spice server ? or wait for your new driver patch ? > > Thanks > The Ha > > On Wed, 16 Mar 2011, The Ha wrote: > > >>>Hi Alon > >>>Test setup: Windows 7 64 bit guest, run on RHEL 6 KVM > >>>Linux guests using xserver-xorg-video-qxl almost work. > >>>YouTube flash inverted when using Windows Spice Client > >>>but that is another thread. > >>> > >>>QXL drivers tested and all fail to load.
