Re: Fedora Windows Spice/Virtio KVM drivers and tools (was Re: Red Hat QXL GPU Driver for Windows 7?)
Christophe, Sorry for a delay on this thread, i just found it. To illuminate Simone's issue (that also adversely effect me) is that, though the QXL drivers work in 32 bit Windows 7, we are unable to install them in the 64bit version of Windows 7 without having to either permanently disable driver signing and place the system in test mode (which for myself is a security policy violation at the day job) or not use QXL. Windows 7 x64 and all Windows 8 systems require signed drivers to start the device. I currently have an unsigned QXL driver installed - but windows will not allow it to start. This makes the switch to the slower, more CPU intensive, and less useful Virtualbox appealing. However, that saddles us with some other issues and ties us back to oracle. This would not be an issue if the Spice QXL drivers were signed, allowing operation in Windows 7 x64 and above. I do not know how Red Hat/Fedora would fit in with driver signing for the Spice QXL vs FreeDesktop position, but I hope this is a good explanation of the issue.

Win7 32 bit does allow unsigned (by MS/WHQL) drivers, Win7 64 bit does not. I've tested the latest qxl driver on a Win7 32 bit installation and it installed properly, so I don't know what problem you are trying to point at, I don't see any different behaviour between the qxl driver and the virtio ones. Anyway the problem leads back to the QXL drivers; if the latest QXL drivers were signed and parked at spice-space.org it would not be a big deal even if not included in the iso; but unfortunately they are not. Please be more specific about the signature issue you keep mentioning, I haven't been able to reproduce any different behaviour between the qxl driver and the virtio drivers from alt.fedoraproject.org.

Also if you fetch this [1], on which the fedora iso are based, it unpacks as internal-kvm-guest-drivers-windows and the changelog is totally different.
