Detailed Description
Current KVM-based virtual machines use an emulated Cirrus Logic graphics driver. This has numerous problems, the main ones being that it is slow and has a limited resolution. When Red Hat acquired Qumranet, we acquired a closed source protocol called QXL which removes these limitations, is highly optimized, and supports such features as on-the-fly compression of video streams. The plan is to fully open source this and include all the pieces in QEMU/KVM, libvirt, Xorg, virt-install and virt-manager.
