Decided to switch back to QXL+Spice, but with Spice Listen Type = None, and with CPU pinning, and directly sending audio to pipewire. Seems to have fixed the slow 2d graphics, while maintaining smooth video playback, and eliminated any random intermittent freezes that would crash the viewer.

Also wtf, why are Virtio Graphics so much slower than QXL Graphics? I was under the impression that Virtio was supposed to have lower overhead.

#qemu #virtio #libvirt #qxl

Has anyone had luck running labwc under QEMU? Getting screen tearing running under Virtio Graphics, but better under QXL. Setting the resolution to the native resolution using wlr-randr seems to slow things down. Also having random freezes when moving my mouse around. Seeing lots of "Failed to commit output to Virtual-1" error messages when I check the stdout/stderr of labwc.
