Used to implement guest monitor configuration change similarly to real hardware in conjunction with the new qemu interrupt QXL_INTERRUPT_CLIENT_MONITORS_CONFIG. client_monitors_config is also used to probe the support by the interface. If it is not supported we send the message to the guest agent. This makes a linux qxl driver similar to existing kms drivers. The logic is: For every received VDAgentMonitorsConfig: if client_monitors_config(NULL): write client configuration to pci rom BAR. send interrupt to guest guest kernel reads configuration from rom BAR. guest kernel issues event to user space user space reads (libdrm) and reconfigures (libXRandr) else: (current implementation) write message to guest agent guest agent issues reconfiguration via XRandr / windows Escape ioctl to kernel |

SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
=============================================================
SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.
Installation
------------
The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install
Or to install into a private user specific location
./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
make
make install
The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE
Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
Celt >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
Pixman >= 0.17.7
OpenSSL
libjpeg
zlib
Cyrus-SASL
The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality
GE Gui >= 0.6.0, < 0.7.0 (GUI app support)
OpenGL (GUI app support)
Alsa (Linux support)
XRandR >= 1.2 (X11 support)
Xinerama >= 1.0 (X11 support)
libcacard >= 0.1.2 (Smartcard support)
Slirp (Tunnelling support)
Communication
-------------
To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/
To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice
Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.
The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
