Description Tomas Jamrisko 2013-02-06 16:05:05 UTC
Created attachment 694015 [details]
Output from remote-viewer

Description of problem:
Adding --full-screen=auto-conf option when connecting to a windows 7 guest with 2 monitors both on client and guest results in periodical flickering (configuration is periodically updated, even though there is no change)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a windows 7 VM with 2 qxl devices
2. Connect to it with --full-screen=auto-conf option
  
Actual results:
Displays flicker often enough to prevent any sort of meaningful work.

Expected results:
it should not update the configuration so often

Tomas, isn't there an already fixed bug for RHEV/mingw-virt-viewer? Can you add dependency relation between them? thanks

Comment 6 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-05-09 15:50:50 UTC
I believe you mean this one, right? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952327

Adding it as dependency.

Tested with:
# rpm -qa virt-viewer

# rpm -qa |grep spice
spice-gtk-tools-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-1.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.3-1.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.20-1.el6.x86_64
spice-client-0.8.2-15.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch

Steps:
1. Setup a windows 7 VM with 2 qxl devices
2. Connect to it with --full-screen=auto-conf option

The displays don't flickek,guest can work well,so move the bug to VERIFIED.
