Description Ademar Reis 2016-01-05 19:00:10 UTC 
We're working to have virtio-gpu (Virgil) functional in RHEL 7.3 and for that we need support in Spice.

The first step is to support it on local VMs (patches are flowing upstream already). A second BZ will be created to track support for remote VMs.

Comment 2 Pavel Grunt 2016-02-17 16:19:21 UTC 
changing component to spice-gtk which handles the client side
Comment 3 Pavel Grunt 2016-06-13 08:42:48 UTC 
The local support is partially in thanks to rebase of spice-gtk to v0.31. However there were some fixes (involving API/ABI break) after the v0.31 version, and rhel7 spice-server doesn't have virgil support -> moving the bug to 7.4
Comment 4 Martin Tessun 2016-12-16 08:43:31 UTC 
As vGPU is the first priority currently, moving this BZ to 7.5

Well, intel has plans to support dma-bufs for the guest display too, so I expect both intel-vgpu and virtio-gpu will use the dma-buf passing infrastructure in spice.

You are correct, but it has nothing to do with local cases.

Virgil support is moving to RHEL 8
