Cole, what do you think? We already use vga for windows guests by default, but historically linux guests have not worked with vga IIRC, at least not out of the box. If that isn't the case now we could possibly change it, but modern guests should be using qxl anyways, which we default to for recent fedora at least. So if anything we should be trying to use qxl everywhere rather than vga. But in the absence of people supporting qxl in RHEL asking for the virt-manager default to be changed, I don't think we should be tweaking this now since it's just going to expose a less tested code path. *** Bug 797769 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Deferring to 6.4 at least *** Bug 807415 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As mentioned before, we already use spice everywhere by default, including virt-install these days. And where there's spice, there's qxl. So that should cover this (qxl has a fallback vga mode) |
