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 H= VM only, I'm not sure about the status of the X guest driver.


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