[edit]
Poor video performance
Answer :
- Verify QXL driver is properly installed and running
- Try adjusting QXL video memory to 64Mb (see also discussion in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36186)
- Using spice-gtk, make sure to try the upcoming version >= 0.7 which has video performance improvements
- Have you compiled spice & spice clients with jpeg-turbo?
- Flash video playback produce worst performance when there is lot of overlaying 2d elements (statusbar, seekbar, ads, buttons etc...)
[edit]
Which architecture can spice run on ?
Answer :
- So far, the client car run on both x86 and x86_64 architectures. There is plan to support other architecture. In particular, there are experimental ports to N900 and Mac OS X, the latter eventually being a step to make an iOS port. For more information about these ports, have a look at the Spice-devel mailing list archives.
- The server, however, does only work on x86_64, because it is dependent on 64-bit atomic operations. There is no known plan to port it to other architecture.

Where can I find support ?
Answer :
- Have a look at the Support Page : it provides links to manuals, mailing-list, and bug trackers.
