Hello, was wondering if I’m doing something stupid. Followed the quick setup guide and could never get video to render. I believe it might be an issue with looking-glass-host.exe but I might be wrong. I have it scheduled to launch at startup but is it supposed to have an taskbar item or a presence in the task manager? I don’t see it ever running. This is a vanilla win10 1909 install that’s unregistered. I didn’t want to use my key until I’ve proven it’s running.
It’s been patched up, running the radeon drivers and vs2019c++ runtime and that’s about it other than the looking-glass-host.exe added to the task scheduler. I have virtio-win 0.1.171 guest additions installed, but I don’t see a ishmev device in windows. I’m pretty sure I saw it in the suggested when I tried with the 0.1.161 as in the config. I upgraded when I was having this same issue with the earlier release. I’m running the official release for looking-glass-host.exe and compiled b1 release from the git repo for the client. Rig is a v1 threadripper with two vega 64s running fedora 31 if that helps. I do have a dummy plug, but currently the video is set up to another input on my monitor - doesn’t work. Have it set to spice currently so I can see the desktop. I also have the win10 guest autologin so and looking-glass-host.exe run with a 30 second delay so that shouldn’t be an issue… Let me know if I need to post any more info. Followed the beginning of Wendell’s guide for fedora up to the enhancements - like page file optimizations - due to not getting this working. Shout out for Wendell and the rest of the comments on that post (Thank you!)
Looking at some other posts here I’ve fallen back to X11, don’t know if that’s manitory or not, tried both. It will just wait forever.

Here’s the xml from virt-manager. Hoping to get up and going during the extra time over the break. Happy Holidays!
