Well I just retested and now they do work. The only thing I can think is that I since installed the vdagent? Still doesn't work for the Linux guest though but no matter. > Do you have drops while video streaming is off? >From a perception point of view it looks like when compressed it plays every second frame but the overall speed is consistent. With compression off it will play a 1 second batch of frames smoothly but then maybe stop for half a second or so. It's not that important to me - I just thought I'd mention it in case you thought everyone was seeing perfect playback/smoothness with the Windows driver. >> It is also interesting to compare the network throughput of moving a >> window around the desktop on both the Linux guest and Windows guest >> (Xorg vs. XP driver).

Yes the smoothness was much better with Spice - the scrolling is especially impressive compared to VNC. >> Another thing I have noticed is that there is a slight difference in >> performance between the Linux Spice client and the Windows Spice >> client.

I work for a large pro graphics company and we run Linux+Nvidia only so that's no problem. What is the deal with the master branch? Can people download nightly snapshots or do you prefer to do regular releases for the time being instead? Thanks again. I promise to be less curious from now on.
