Hi!
I am using Alpine 2.4.11 with xen now.
I want to use spice in xen instead of vnc. Is current xen kernel support
spice protocol?!

I read throw documents that I have to compile xen kernel to do this...

Thanks very much

Hi,

I just added spice-dev to makedepends in xen. It look like something
linked against libspice-server.so.1 so it might be it works in xen-4.2.2-r3 (in edge).

-nc

I'm afraid you will not be able to use Xen with spice, because Xen is
not currently capable of emulating the instructions needed by spice, see:

You will need to wait at least to 4.4 to support this feature.
