[libvirt] question about ading spice and vnc hardware
i create VM through virt-manage. add hardware--> graphic--(spice,vnc server) i do not understand the word 'server' means, In my opinion , spice or vnc server is on KVM-HOST side, vnc,spice client connect to KVM-HOST. there are nothing to do with guestOS. why virt-manage need me to add "server"? thanks

The question is around what graphics hardware do you want the guest to have? Do you want a standard VGA (which qemu will then turn into a VNC server for you)? Or do you want Spice (which requires driver support in the guest OS) which you can connect to with a Spice client? Does that answer your question?
hi,jon stanley i see now, add spice server mean 'export a graphics card(spice type) to guest', vga equals vnc server. thanks At 2013-03-05 10:15:35,"Jon Stanley" <jonstanley@gmail.com> wrote:
