Description Lucy Bopf 2017-02-21 11:49:11 UTC

With this update, the default VNC graphics in Red Hat Virtualization 4.0 is VGA. Imported virtual machines with VNC/Cirrus, and originating in previous compatibility versions, are automatically upgraded to VNC/VGA. However, QXL is still the preferred default graphics, if the guest operating system supports it.

References to default VNC graphics in the Technical Reference must be reviewed and a new procedure for how to switch the VNC graphics to Cirrus must be added to the Admin Guide and/or VMM.

Comment 5 Lucy Bopf 2018-06-29 05:20:23 UTC

Moving to 4.2, accepting into the 4.2.5 program, and assigning to Byron for review.

Comment 13 Emma Heftman 2018-08-20 09:55:42 UTC

Verified and merged.
