Not sure how we want to proceed with that in the long run, though ...
IIRC clearly, Paolo once said that it doesn't really belong into
"-display" anyway and should be handled with the separate "-vnc"
option
instead?
Not me, Gerd
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210825092023.81396-2-thuth@redhat.com/T/#e8...):
Other way around, -display vnc should be dropped. -display is about
local displays, and there can be only one instance. -vnc / -spice
enable remote access, and this can be done in addition to a local
display.
not possible:
-display gtk + -display sdl
possible:
-display gtk + -vnc
-display gtk + -vnc + -spice
-display none + -vnc + -spice
For what it's worth, Libvirt uses both -vnc and -spice, so we might very
well proceed with Gerd's idea. If we don't like -vnc and -spice then it
may be possible to QOMify them and go with -object.
Thanks,
Paolo
