Does not install and register vgpusrv service

[kevinoid]

Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1923886#c4, it's my understanding that viogpuap.exe and vgpusrv.exe should be installed and vgpusrv.exe -i run for service registration to provide resolution switching for the viogpudo driver. However, it does not appear that the installer does this when viogpudo is selected. Is it something that could/should be added?

Thanks,
Kevin

@kevinoid
Right, we do not install and start the automatically automatically.
The reason for that is quite simple. It is still not clear how the dynamic
resolution should be integrated with VNC and SPICE vda agent.

As soon as we know the requirements, It shouldn't be too complicated
to include these binaries in installer.

Is this fixed?

Unfortunately, there is no progress on this issue yet.

For me, vgpusrv.exe also currently doesn't work with SPICE display, but works well with VNC.

Unfortunately SPICE is not supported by Red Hat any longer.
And as far as I know there is no plan to integrate viogpudo with SPICE.
vgpusrv.exe supposed to work with VNC but not with SPICE because
SPICE uses it's own communication mechanism to notify qxl in case of
resolution change event while virtio-gpu device uses a dedicated interrupt
for that.
