I've been trying to get Red Hat's Spice loaded to use for my Ubuntu VM for
more than a month now. I finally got the full spice package installed and
configured but it needs qxl drivers loaded in x windows which so far I've
been unable to accomplish.
I followed the instructions here:
http://www.cs.rug.nl/~jurjen/ApprenticesNotes/ch28s06.html
However, when I edit the xorg.conf file to load the qxl drivers I
installed, then stop and start gdm it complains that it can't find drivers
"qxl" and "void" and puts me into low graphics mode. When I try to
reinstall the drivers, it says latest drivers already installed nothing
left to do. I don't understand why this isn't working. The drivers are
installed, the hardware shows up, the xorg.conf has been modified. Are
the istructions relating to the xorg.conf incorrect? That's the only
thing I can think of.
Where is the qxl driver being installed? Is it the same place that the
server expects to find drivers? The normal place would be something
like /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers if you're on x86. I see the
instructions there are instructing you to pass --libdir=/usr/lib64
when building qxl. Don't do that if you're not on x86_64.
On the other hand, I don't know why you don't have the void input
driver. Maybe it's not installed. I don't know the debian/ubuntu
package name, but it might be xserver-xorg-input-void.
Anyway, your log would help.
