<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Hi Lindsay,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your email. I tried Spice but realized that the VM has to recognize the video adapter to work with the program I need run. It uses Unity Web Player which requires a better video card than the Standard VGA Adapter. Ultimately the tests
will be run without using a viewer from one VM to another (eggPlant). You said that you wouldn't mess with the PCI Passthrough. I wonder if anyone has tried and got it to work. <br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Unless you are using PCI passthrough (a different subject altogether and quite tricky), then your VM's virtual hardware is quite unrelated to the physical hardware it is running on.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">By default its just a simple emulated VGA card. If you want ok video performance that scales to decent resolutions then you need to use the Spice Virtual Hardware and drivers.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- Shut the VM down<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">From the Proxmox Web InterfaceI:<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- Edit its Display in the Hardware Tab<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- Set it to SPICE (Qxl)<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- Start the VM<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">In the VM itself, install the Spice Guest Tools<br>

</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- Reboot VM is Required<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">To *view* the VM's console, use the spice remote-viewer. That depends on what client system you are using to view the VM. For windows use the virt-viewer MSI available here:<br>
- <a href="http://virt-manager.org/download/" target="_blank">http://virt-manager.org/download/</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">ignore the virt-manager stuff.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Remote Viewer and SPICE support nice things like dynamic resizing of the VM console. USB devices can be passed trhough.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Caveats:<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">- You'll never get game quality performance via spice, for that you'll probably need to do PCI passthrough of the host video card. Personally I wouldn't bother with that.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">An alternative to using SPICE onto a windows vm is to just use remote desktop (RDP), that works very well, but you do need to know the hostname/ip address of the VM.<br clear="all">
