Bug Description

Ubuntu Vivid guest doesn't seem to allow dynamic resolution changing in the Guest, but if I fire up a Fedora 22 live CD it works fine. The only difference I found was Fedora uses xorg-x11-drv-qxl v0.1.3-2 and Ubuntu Vivid is still on the older v0.1.1-0ubuntu6.

When I tried to manually force a resolution higher than 1920x1200 using xrandr it also causes X on the guest to crash every time Libreoffice Writer is opened, after talking with the SPICE developers they said that bug should be fixed in newer X QXL drivers.

Can we get the newer QXL driver package?
