Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ 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

Will be solved by rebase

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.
