The SPICE protocol is implemented as a guest graphics adapter of QEMU. In other words, it's made for virtual desktops running under QEMU/KVM. That's why it does not work directly on a physical machine.

Unfortunatelly we do not have that much materials in English. (But if you can read Russian - welcome to http://www.ossportal.ru/technologies/rhev. :-) )
If you want just to see SPICE in action it is not hard. You need qemu with SPICE support on server and SPICE client on client.
You need to start qemu on server with additional options: -spice port=<port>,disable-ticketing - use this one if you do not need password protection OR -spice port=<port>,password=<secret> - if you need to protect connection
After it you can connect from client using spicec -h <host> -p <port>
Additional options for compression, encryption, etc are described in qemu man page.

So as I understand it correctly, this whole SPICE thing is just something like VNC on steroids? Why can't we have this SPICE thing work on physical hosts as well?
