Comment 1 Bill Sanford 2013-10-08 17:44:00 UTC

The guests were WinXP and Win7

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-08 17:46:27 UTC

Please help localize the issue.

Does it work downgrading qxl driver?

Is it only windows->windows?

Have you tried with a RHEL6 client?

Comment 3 Bill Sanford 2013-10-08 17:48:58 UTC

Vimal saw this with a Fedora17 client.

Comment 4 Bill Sanford 2013-10-08 17:52:52 UTC

I just used a Fedora 19 client and see the same.

virt-viewer-0.5.6-1.fc19.x86_64

Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2013-10-08 18:19:22 UTC

resizing in win7 + spice-server-0.12.4-3.el6.x86_6 + qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.406.el6.x86_64 + qxl 0.1-18/0.1.19 (same driver except for the whql sig) is working here with a f19 client.

Comment 6 Bill Sanford 2013-10-08 19:49:57 UTC

The RHEV SPICE agent is set to automatic start in the guest, but yet the service is NOT started after the tools-ISO is installed and reboots the VM.

any chance you could grab the vdagent log? thanks

Comment 8 Bill Sanford 2013-10-08 20:32:56 UTC

Marc-Andre, 

I wrote another bug explaining that the RHEV Spice Agent is not started in the guest even after the reboot of the VM after the tools-ISO install.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016861

Once this is restarted, it seems like everything is happy.

Comment 9 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-10-08 20:48:04 UTC

so this bug should be closed.
