[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] spice: improve vga mode performance

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

This patch series makes spice be more clever on screen updates when in
vga mode (i.e. without qxl guest driver loaded or when using a non-qxl
vga card).  qemu keeps a copy of the screen with the content forwarded
to spice-server, then on updates it goes compare the guest screen with
the copy to figure what has really changed.

[ v2: fix two bugs so the series actually has the desired effect ]

cheers,
  Gerd
