Sure, I can do that.

I've had a look at that too, and I'm happy to continue trying, although
I don't know much on the subject, so any help is appreciated.

I've found out that, if you install spice dev libraries, (upstream)
QEMU gets built with qxl enabled, and I can specity "vga=qxl" in guest
config, and that works.

I see the boot, I see X / Wayland, etc.

What I haven't understood yet is how to actually connect with a "spice
client" (or whatever the correct terminology is) and get the
acceleration and all the benefits. I've tried just connecting with
spicy or virt-viewer, but couldn't get that to work.

I think I've got to install/enable stuff inside the guest too, but I'm
not sure what yet.

I'll try to fetch docs online, and fish back one of those old thread we
had here about spice support, to see if there is some more info.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
