There is no easy solution, each components has different tracing functionality. In this case (monitor configuration issues), it's usually easier to add a few printf and break on point of interest and follow the code. Having 10 traces of various components won't help you much as you will be struggling and overwhelm to understand the interactions. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
