First, all I can see from the logs is the "Out of surfaces" message (the "Bad bpp: 1" messages are harmless, just annoying), so you can try to disable off screen surfaces first and see how it affects this. In your X config file, in the driver section, add: Option "EnableSurfaces" "0" > > One last note, > Since I'm having troubles with qxl for some time now I've been trying > the latest git version of xf86-video-qxl > I applied all patches but the last 5 kms patches since those refuse to > compile for me. > And one additional patch from myself because rpmlint refuses to build > unless that one is applied (9000-fix-strncat-bufferoverflow.patch) > > Cheers > Rob > > 2013/5/29 Alon Levy <alevy@xxxxxxxxxx>: > >> Hello all, > > > > Hi Rob, > > > >> > >> I'm using spice with kde on opensuse. > >> When using spice via a ssh encrypted connection, all works fine and is > >> very fast untill I start firefox. > >> The connection freezes for a while and when I'm able to connect I see > >> the console. > >> > >> The Xorg.0.log gives a huge amount off these errors : > >> qxl_surface_create: Bad bpp: 1 (1) > >> and kdm crashes, and restarts. > >> > >> kdm[1782]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly > >> > >> The connection freezes.
