    Note: Here we can determine that the issue is due to the qxl version(1.20.8) is higher than the version our support(1.20.4).

  3. Next, find the qxl-version.info file in the VDI directory.

  4. Use vi to edit the qxl-version.info file and enter 1.20.8=1.20.4 at the end of the line.

  5. Save the changes to the file and reboot the VM.

  6. Login using VDI Client again.
