I wasn't talking talking about the problems with it, I was talking about how enabling QXL in the future will fit in with the data model being introduced here. I don't want to take spice support on the assumption that it is just a backend for PVFB and then find out that this is a wrong model when QXL comes to get added. My main concern is that you don't appear to understand how the model fits together either, and yet you keep posting patches to turn things on. This makes me very nervous.
