It does work with spice on spice, so it looks like a vnc bug/issue to us. I reopen the bug. Options --disable-effects wallpaper/font-smooth/animation/all and --color-depth 16/32 are not supported now for RHEL clients, but option --full-screen=auto-conf should be supported, but It doesn't work in RHEL6.1 client in configuration mentioned above (see comment 0). Resolution is not switched to native resolution of display. Last comment is wrong. It does work with windows guest but not with Linux guest. xrandr sees wide range of resolutions but guest resolution is not aligned with client resolution. Reproducibility 100% with latest spice-vdagent It should be blocker for this component. As one of three features is not working. Hi, What you're seeing is likely pretty much the same thing as bug 674796. The linux spice-vdagent (nor the newer windows agent (fixed in the latest windows ver)) will not work unless the virtual machine uses a virtio serial port for the agent channel. qemu-kvm in RHEL-6.0 still uses the custom vdiport pci-device. Please retry with a 6.1 hosted vm (sorry). Make sure that you've a version of qemu which is using spice-server-0.6.x or higher (0.7.x or 0.8.0). Also try disabling selinux in the guest, there are some known issues with selinux and spice-vdagent. If it works with selinux disabled, but not with it enabled, please file a separate bug for this!! Thanks, Hans I retried with RHEL6.1 - all Host, Guest, Client and the same configuration. Host and Client $ rpm -qa | egrep "qemu-kvm|spice" spice-client-0.7.3-1.el6.x86_64 spice-server-0.7.3-2.el6.x86_64 spice-server-debuginfo-0.7.3-2.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.6.3-5.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-debuginfo-0.12.1.2-2.148.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.148.el6.x86_64 spice-client-debuginfo-0.7.3-1.el6.x86_64 Guest: SELinux disabled. $ rpm -qa | grep vdagent && service spice-vdagentd status spice-vdagent-0.6.3-5.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagentd (pid 1529) is running... I run qemu-kvm with virtio serial options manually: sudo /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -vga qxl -m 2048 -spice port=3001,disable-ticketing -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 /dev/rootvm/RHEL61_x64_test It does not work for me anyway but what I noticed and I didn't mention earlier is that I am using two displays - first one is laptop's and second one is external display and after starting spicec with --full-screen-auto-conf resolution of guest is not aligned with client resolution of external display where spicec window always opens. If I do turn external display off then Guest resolution after starting spicec is aligned on my only one laptop as It is expected. With windows guests it does work. Created attachment 482683 [details]
PATCH: fix setting the resolution through the agent from multi mon clients
Here is a patch fixing this, adding devel-ack.
Verified on spice-vdagent-0.6.3-6.el6.{i686,x86_64}
