Yea QXL is going into mainstream Xorg I think, seen a release announcement a few days ago.

This could be interesting if SPICE makes its way into QEMU upstream also.

HVM would be a good start. It would be a good way for Xen to break into the VDI space easily, unless there's something I haven't come across?

As far as I understand, if the QXL driver isn't installed, it will fall back to standard VGA. The spice client will still be able to connect, but it just wont be accelerated.

The spice protocol doesn't just handle graphics, but sound and USB is in the pipeline.

The guest QXL driver is available for windows anyway, so that will be HVM only, I'm not sure about the status of the X guest driver.


I just found out about that (maybe i'm just lagging), not sure the state either, but at least the source code is available:
