Oh, is that what XSpice does? It's hard to tell: the page you link to never actually says what it is. Actually I'm still not sure. Is it an X video driver that sends the image over a spice connection to a remote client? (If so, that's not going to work for anything but X.)

Basically it seems to be a 'virtual GPU' (driver) for X.org:

But the same principle obviously can be applied to Wayland...?

Oh, hang on, it's just another name for x86-video-qxl. Of course. *slaps self*

That would be xf86-video-qxl and my fingers are dropping keys and LWN needs an edit option and a pony.
