Hi, I have a fedora25 system with a Windows10 host and would like to use it for photoshop. However, it complains the video memory is too low. I'm using the QXL driver and it appears to be limited to 256MB? I've installed the Red Hat QXL driver in Windows.
What driver did you installed? There are two drivers, qxl and qxldod, for windows 10 you need the qxldod and I would give it a try to use the latest drivers [1], not the stable ones.

It looks like that fixed it. I must have been using the x86 version all along, thinking the amd64 was only for AMD chips, and I have an Intel.
That's a common mistake, amd64 is an official name for that architecture because it was AMD who introduced that architecture, but nowadays x86_64 is used. It's the same as i386 and x86, the original 32-bit architecture was introduced by Intel.
I tried to change the CPU settings to those you recommended, and it didn't like it. When I use 'virsh edit" for the host, make the cpu changes, then try to save, I receive:
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Extra element cpu in interleave Element domain failed to validate content
Failed. Try again? [y,n,i,f,?]:
Oh, right, that was my fault, I didn't realize that you probably have older version of libvirt, try to use this configuration: <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> There is no "check" attribute for "cpu" element in older libvirts. Pavel
