Description Brian 2016-09-01 01:52:22 UTC

Description of problem:

When a Windows KVM guest has the QXL video driver installed, there is no compression setting that prevents the rendered display from turning either upside down or into a garbled mess.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kimchi-1.5.1-5.fc25.noarch
spice-html5-0.1.7-1.fc24.noarch

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log into kimchi
2. launch console of Win7 x64 guest with QXL video and latest virtio drivers
3.

Actual results:
either complete or multiple, isolated upside down graphics

Expected results:
Normal graphics.

Additional info:

Github Kimchi issue about the problem:
  https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/issues/642

Bugzilla spice-html5/oVirt bug 1014066 discussed the problem, and then closed it, but the problem remains.

I also tried a random branch "topdown" referenced here:
  https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2016-January/026170.html
  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~pgrunt/spice-html5/?h=topdown

but while it did correct the upside down problem, other pieces turn into a garbled mess.



The only solution I have it so change from the QXL driver, which isn't exactly the most desirable solution.

I don't know what is in the oVirt Windows Guest Tools (WGT) 3.6.5 that supposedly fixed the problem in bug 1014066 but I'm unable to produce a fix using the latest windows VirtIO drivers iso.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 22:47:15 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 16:57:58 UTC

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
