Description Robert McSwain 2016-05-24 14:53:46 UTC 
2 monitors setup in KVM does not work in virt-manager, because virt-manager does not open second window for 2nd monitor.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.2 KVM Guest
virt-viewer-2.0-6.el7.x86_64
virt-manager-1.2.1-8.el7.noarch
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

How to Reproduce
1. open virt-manager
2. add Video QXL to your KVM and run it
3. KVM can see 2 monitor but virt-manager does not show 2nd windows for 2nd monitor
4. if you add 2nd Video QXL auto VM resize with window does not work also

Current work around:
1. run virt-manager and start VM
2. run in terminal "remote-viewer spice://localhost:5900"

This isn't supported by current virt-manager and it needs to be implemented, which means rewrite the code to support opening multiple monitors.
Comment 3 Robert McSwain 2016-06-21 19:37:13 UTC 
Pavel, In this case I'd like to push for this to be implemented as this is very important to a number of customers. Thanks!
