Hi,
I recently sent a mail to Marc-André Lureau, inquiring about clipboard sharing support in his virt-viewer builds for Win- dows. It turned out that the reason clipboard sharing doesn't work is because Xspice does not yet spawn an agent. Marc-André subsequently got Alon Levy into the discussion, who had this to say on how this might be pulled off: "I'm really glad to hear someone is actually using this. To implement clipboard sharing is indeed just an Xspice issue. You'll need to have an agent talking to spice server not via a virtio device and qemu. Looking at vdagent-linux I guess there are a few questions: * do we run vdagentd and vdagent as subprocesses of Xspice (actually Xorg) * is there a way to emulate uinput (not related to clipboard) * more a statement - I think the clipboard part is relatively easy, you can replace the hardcoded /dev path for the virtio-serial port with a pipe. I guess I would try to split vdagent to a library and app, and then link the library into spiceqxl_drv.so (i.e. xf86-video-qxl)." I'm still pretty keen on getting this to work in my Xspice- based setup, and since I was encouraged to bring this topic to the list here goes. Please chime in :). On another note, I've started to look into what it will take to write a 'QtSpice' to match spice-gtk, which I'd then like to use to add SPICE support to KDE's bundled remote desktop viewer, krdc. But that's for another thread some later time. -- Best regards, Eike Hein _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
