Having issues changing from vga to qxl and changing to spice in virt-manager. Was wondering if anyone else faced this issue in Rocky Linux 9?

Found my issue! SPICE support was removed from RHEL 9!

More info here: [2030592 – Keep QXL/SPICE support for RHEL 9](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2030592)
