I am not sure this issue is tight to Red Hat qxl GPU driver, but I can't initialize directxX on a guest windows 7. Trying to start a game, I get the merror message : Failed to initialize directX Of course, directX is installed on the w7 guest, and properly. The dxdiag command, a directx diagnostic tool, does not show any error. Some summary under the video : Driver name : Red Hat QXL GPU Processor type : SeaBIOS VBEC(C) 2011 No Directx functionality are available (Direct Draw, Direct3D, AGP texture) I am not a windows expert, but I would like to know if DirectX is compatible with QXL driver. If not, what is the process to be able to run directX on the windows guest ? If both are compatible, what did I miss ? The VM is working perfectly with virtio & qxl. Please find below my virt-install command: ----------------------------- virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=tintinWinoz --memory 4096 --cpu host-model-only --os-variant=win7 --disk /myVM/tintin --boot cdrom,hd --virt-type kvm --graphics spice --controller scsi,model=virtio-scsi --cdrom /dev/cdrom --disk /drawer/myIso/w7.iso,device=cdrom ----------------------------------------------------- I thereafter installed manually from the w7 guest virtio & qxl drivers. Thank you for advices. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
