Description Jonathon Jongsma 2014-08-12 21:01:17 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1129477 +++

Currently, when virt-viewer / remote-viewer is started in fullscreen mode, we attempt to place a fullscreen guest dislay on each local monitor. It should be possible for the user to customize this behavior

--- Additional comment from Jonathon Jongsma on 2014-08-12 17:00:01 EDT ---

Support is upstream.

Test with:
virt-viewer-2.0-2.el6

Steps:
Prepare a 4 monitors machine
1. # virsh dominfo 3
Id:             3
Name:           rhel6u6-clone
UUID:           4fddea58-9dc1-a8eb-bc03-7575209789ed
...

2. edit config file
# cat ~/.config/virt-viewer/settings 
rhel6u6-clone
[4fddea58-9dc1-a8eb-bc03-7575209789ed]
monitor-mapping=1:4;2:3

3. virt-viewer 3 -f

4. retest with:
monitor-mapping=1:4;2:3
 - 1:3;2:4;3:2
 - 1:2;2:4;3:1;4:3
 - 1:1;2:1(invalid)
 - 1:2;2:b(invalid)
 - 1:3;a:2(invalid)

Result:
display can be placed to the right monitor with right resolution.

Another problem, if configure virt-viewer with more than one displays, displays which are not specified in config file still come out.
So I clone a bug for it - Bug 1200750.

As the result, move to VERIFIED.
