See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/tree/README.xspice

Basically it boils down to:

Xspice --port 5900 --disable-ticketing :3.0

All options that Xspice doesn't recognize are passed as is to X. Xspice is just a wrapper python script that sets up environment variables and ends by execve'ing Xorg.

Proposed as Blocker for 19-alpha by joeuser using the blocker tracking app because:
 As a test of a new system for proposing blocker and freeze exception bugs. Not an actual proposal.

Comment 7 Tim Flink 2013-01-30 15:36:20 UTC 
Apologies for the noise, I'm testing a new method for proposing blockers and it wasn't supposed to actually modify the production bug.
Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2017-04-28 12:50:13 UTC 
anaconda-26.21.4-1.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-f620d8c7c2
Comment 9 Martin Kolman 2017-04-28 13:19:08 UTC 
Looks like the Bodhi web UI likes to add random unrelated bugs to an update...
Comment 10 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-07-26 12:05:10 UTC 
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
Comment 11 Katerina Koukiou 2024-04-16 12:57:45 UTC 
The team will not be implementing this feature as its diverging from the product's agreed direction on the underlying software stack, moving away from xorg to wayland.[1]
This xorg -> wayland change is at the time of posting this, targeting only RHEL but it will be applied to Fedora in some near upcoming release, thus making this request obsolete.
