Description Qunfang Zhang 2011-02-16 09:06:00 UTC
Description of problem:
Boot a windows guest with spice, and install qxl driver for it from:
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=31174
But after install the qxl driver and reboot guest as required. The driver could not work properly. Open device manager and check "Display adapter" there is a yellow "!" for the driver.
So I can not do S3 because the driver is not installed successfully.

Sometimes I can install it successfully, but after do S3, guest aborted.
