Hi, Could you please clarify 2 questions: 1. Why all remote connections should be treated as 'slow'? Is it true even for e.g. Gbit low-latency LAN connections? Looks like everything would be better than nothing right now (when all connections are treated as slow), but actually instead of identifying local/remote it is better to identify 'slow/fast'. 2. What interface do you expect from vdagent? AFAIK there are no similar interfaces there right now, so something new is required (this is also a question to core Spice developers - I'm just learning Spice...)

If that could be provided instead, I'm even happier. > 2. What interface do you expect from vdagent?

Yeah, I'm afraid SPICE devs will have to answer this. Any progress on this? Is it worth having animations with Spice/QXL? Imho, it is best to have animations disabled as long as accelerated 3d isn't supported. When spice supports accelerated 3d, the gsd heureustic should be changed. Imho the gsd hint should be: disable if using sw rendering & QXL device (!= virtio channel check). (In reply to Marc-Andre Lureau from comment #4) > Is it worth having animations with Spice/QXL?

AFAIK, the shell animations aren't very cpu intensive so they work fine for local case. With animations being a central part of impressive UX, its a pity that they are all disabled when run under a VM IMHO. a few patches are now in spice to disable some network tests with Unix sockets: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-January/018562.html Similar checks could be added to disable all compression automatically etc. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
