#99 Restore support for SPICE + QXL for CentOS Stream Hyperscale
Opened by ngompa. Modified

Open
Close Issue

Red Hat has decided to turn off SPICE and QXL for the Virtualization stack in CentOS Stream 9. Unfortunately, this means that higher performance graphics and a number of user experience features are missing, especially for VDI and other similar use-cases.

We should look into restoring this capability with our version of the virtualization stack.

I think most of the userspace stuff should be possible in EPEL (qemu, spice-server, etc.). Then we just need to make sure we prefer those over the RHEL ones when baking in virtualization into our images.

Looks like we're also missing virglrenderer.

@bkircher are you still interested in working on this?

This needs to be done for CentOS Stream Hyperscale 10 too.
