I found KVMGT-qemu used new vga: vgt, if this vgt can support spice?

l1viathan commented 9 years ago

I think it's possible to add spice support for vgt, using indirect display mode. However, current KVMGT doesn't have such features :)

@jikesong Does KVMGT have plan to add support for spice? I think spice is very important for end user. I try to add spice support when use direct pass-through. Can I using indirect display mode to finish this work? If there is an succinct method to finish this?

@maqiangddb : Actually we are considering to enhance indirect mode for GVT-g, hence the spice support.

In pass-through case, I don't think there is even a "indirect display mode". In this case, the guest owns everything of GPU, so mapping its frame buffer to a host area is not applicable - there is no graphics support in host.
