Doc Text:	Previously, a Windows virtual machine using the arbitrary resolution change setting ended up with a black screen when spice-vdagent resized its resolution to higher than 2560x1600. Resizing back to lower resolution did not restore the virtual machine console. Now, the screen no longer goes black, and spice-vdagent allows resizing.	Story Points:	---

Description Marian Krcmarik 2012-10-05 15:11:03 UTC

Description of problem:
Windows guest ends up with black screen once spice vdagent resizes resolution to higher than 2560x1600 When arbitary resolution change is in use. Resizing back to lower resolution does not restore Guest screen.
The same feature in Linux guest does work and It's posible to resize guest resolution until limitation of buffer size.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vdagent-win-0.1-12
qxl-win-unsigned-0.1-15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set resolution on Windows guest to 2560x1600
2. Resize spice client window to higher resolution.
  
Actual results:
Black screen only is displayed on the guest.

Expected results:
It should allow resizing until buffer size and or rollback once It's over.

There is an *unsigned* driver that contains the fix, setting Fixed-in and moving to MODIFIED.

The screen doesn't go black anymore, however when the resolution is changed by window resize and only one of the dimensions exceeds the limit, the resolution change fails completely. Would it be possible in such case to resize the guest to [min(desired_x, maximum_x), min(desired_y, maximum_y)] in 3.3 cycle?
