They have the same thing on Xen too, and Xen is (or used to be?) vnc only. > Anyway, this doesn't seem to change the situation at all then?

But if we attach some extra information to the display channels (both classic and streaming), like a device path of the device to allow linking channels to devices, then it is possible to figure that the vgpu vnc console and the vgpu streaming channel are actually backed by the same guest device. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
