I guess the later have been produced by libvirt. The additional arguments, like naming the bus and giving it an addr and max_ports, should not matter. And virtio-serial-pci is the name of the device, virtio-serial is an alias, so this doesn't matter either. > > > References > > Visible links > 1. http://spice-space.org/page/Whiteboard/AgentProtocol > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
