So 1 virtual machine & 3 clients - for that you would need to enable "Simultaneous clients connection" which is an EXPERIMENTAL feature: http://www.spice-space.org/multiple-clients.html All the clients will receive the same stuff (all will get 3 displays, but you can "hide" some windows). > All three machines in my office are running Lubuntu and have spice-client-gtk > on them (I am running Lubuntu 16.04 so spice-client-gtk contains spicy). You would need remote-viewer (it has multi-monitor support) for that. You can find it in the virt-viewer package - the latest version is remote-viewer 4.0 > I am using qemu-system-x86_64 to run the windows virtual machine, and I have > two virtual displays working, but they are both displaying on the monitor of > one of the machines in my office. > > Is there a way for me to tell (possibly by using different port numbers and > spice options in the parameter list for qemu-system-x86_64) so that each > virtual display is directed to a different physical machine? > > I have listed my command line below (with an attempt to use two references to > spice, which didn't work). use just one > > THANKS . . . > > Phil > > P.S.

Looks good, but you can experiment with it :) Recent versions of spice-gtk and spice-server have support for changing image compression from the client using '--spice-preferred-compression' Regards, Pavel > > # Start qemu-system asynchronously > qemu-system-x86_64 \ > -enable-kvm \ > -machine pc,accel=kvm \ > -drive file=/mnt/Windows10Image/Windows10Guest.img,if=virtio \ > -drive > file=/home/troyware1/InstallFiles/Windows10H64/Windows10H64Install.iso,media=c > drom \ > -drive file=/home/troyware1/InstallFiles/Windows10H64/virtio-win- > 0.1.118.iso,media=cdrom \ > -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=56:44:45:30:31:35 \ > -net user \ > -cpu host \ > -vga qxl \ > -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing,image-compression=glz,zlib-glz-wan- > compression=always \ > -device qxl \ > -spice port=5951,disable-ticketing,jpeg-wan-compression=always,zlib-glz-wan- > compression=always \ > -uuid 8373c3d6-1e6c-f022-38e2-b94e6e14e170 \ > -smp cpus=3,maxcpus=6 \ > -m 8192 \ > -name TroyWare1Win7VM \ > -localtime \ > -k en-us \ > -usb -usbdevice tablet & > > > Philip M.
