Description Marian Krcmarik 2013-12-16 13:19:06 UTC

Description of problem:
We have a Windows 2008R2 Spice QXL driver which available in qxl-win brew component, Change a behaviour of the installer so that It installs Spice QXL driver on W2K8R2 (additionally now to all of the guest tools components) in next WGT build.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Available W2K8R2 qxl-win build - qxl-win-0.1-21.

Note:
The driver is available in qxl_8k2R2_x64.zip (Not sure about the name, maybe a typo).

Comment 1 Ofer Schreiber 2013-12-17 09:18:19 UTC

Marked as RFE, as we never installed qxl on server platforms.
Differed to 3.3.z as it's not a real release blocker.

Comment 2 Bill Sanford 2013-12-18 15:14:50 UTC

According to our documentation, http://www.redhat.com/resourcelibrary/articles/enterprise-linux-virtualization-support, we do install for server platforms.

In the https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.3-Beta/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html, 17.7.3. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Guest Drivers and Guest Agents, it specifically states, that we support QXL for server and desktop.

Comment 3 Paul Vine 2013-12-18 15:27:51 UTC

This table spells it out a little better for supported guests.
