libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'

Thank you for any help provided.

you need to install the spice-client for KVM thats what qxl needs to run

My apologies Fearless Fred, I did try to install xf86-video-qxl from SBopkg current, however I am getting an error. I believe this is what's causing the issue. I got distracted and completely forgot to include this.

EDIT: found a good link so added it here;

Are you using virt-manager to import?

When you have chosen the image, and OS type, RAM and CPU allocation, on the next screen, step 4 of 4 - there is a tick box, customise configuration, tick this box, and then choose 'video QXL'

Thank you for the link, that's a more detailed than the one I was using. I did customize the configuration in step 4, however, the error still comes up. I also tried the other video options and it failed too. Should I have posted this thread under Slackware's subforum to get specific help in resolving the xf86-video-qxl package failing to install?
