Not very related, only a bit, one nice to have feature that x-spice lacks is agent integration. This will give you niceties like copy paste but also resolution change to match client window. I seem to recall a public thread between Hans and myself discussing this, it requires you dig into yet another project, spice-agent, but if you want to improve the resolution setting story I think it is a good direction (unless this is completely off and you prefer to set the resolution from the X side, in that case it buys you nothing). > > Cheers, > > Jeremy > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel > _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
