I just checked on VNC. In the case of a VNC console usbtablet is being
used in the generated dom xml. However like VNC when a guest has no
spice awareness it is in the same boat as VNC so usbtablet is helpful in
getting to that point. Or just simply if it cannot be made spice aware
at all as is the case for some guest types (EG: no vdagent possiblity
for example).

Making VRAM configurable would be a  nice benefit to SPICE or VNC
console. Thus allowing for a guest to have enough vram for higher
resolutions and bit depths as well as more vram for 2D video operations.

interesting. i didn't think higher resolution were relevant to VNC.
i was thinking this relates mostly to multiple monitors for spice.
this means we may need to model the vram not solely based on spice multiple monitors, but also for VNC as just a number? do you have some guiding numbers for vram for various use cases (i.e., I'd rather have the UI specify a resolution/bit depth than a VRAM in MB which won't tell users what it means)?

        Any thoughts/feedback on this one? It really is a downer to be

        manipulate both of these via hooks. These are both pretty standard
        configuration items to enhance/tweak or make various guests fully
        functional.


    will track via the bugs. the vram for spice multi monitor i see the
    issue with.
    for usb tablet, don't we always enable it for vnc display?

        Perhaps
             via the console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and
        user portals.
             -Highly useful in the event that a guest OS does not have
        the spice
             agent loaded nor is it available for said guest OS.
             -Also in the case of guest OS that simply does not want to
        work and
             play well with <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'>
             - All Operating systems since ~1998 understand <input
        type='tablet'
             bus='usb'/> and will deal with mouse events in absolute mode.

             Allow for vram and vram_ size to be configurable for
        CIrrus(VNC) and
             QXL(Spice) console types. Again probably best suited to
        have this on
             console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and user
        portals.
             - Default VRAM sizes are not enough to allow for larger
        resolutions
             and pixel depths at times.
             - Especially the case in multiple monitor SPICE,
        fullscreen, or VNC
             consoles

             - More VRAM is useful in the case of attempting to run
        accelerated
             applications within a QXL configured guest.

             The above can be altered via VDSM hooks however this is rather
             painful. Additionally these options or similar are
        configurable in
             other competing solutions.
