Whenever I tried to talk to the KVM IRC channel, I get told I need a much newer version than RedHat ships in EL and they don't support the old version in EL... So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

SPICE is related to both KVM and QEMU, but it's still not the same thing. Same same but different, kind of. So may I recommend one of these lists instead? * KVM mailing lists and IRC channels http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Lists%2C_IRC * QEMU mailing lists http://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists > They take questions from the general public. (They > can get "cranky" though.) Yeah, I can understand that though ... asking about things in the wrong list can also cause such issues. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
