On the host / network side, in-order to connect to the guest, you'll have to install the spice client, and run: spicec -h KVM-host -p PORT. However, trying to find signed qxl drivers for Windows is problematic - especially if you plan to use 64bit Windows. (I simply resigned to using F8->disable driver signing enforcement when I boot the VM). - Gilboa -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
