Bug 987312

When boot guest only w/ ... -device qxl,id=video1,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864 ... and spice, when launch guest, will automatically remote-viewer 2 spice clients.

Mixing qxl and non-qxl doesn't work today.  Improving multihead support upstream should fix that, but that isn't going to happen that quickly, targeting 7.0 isn't realistic.

Hi, Gerd

I just test this with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-2.el7.x86_64

Found that it is not fixed, followings are my tests, if I mis understood you please feel free to fix me:

a.Test vnc + -vga std + -device qxl :
1.Boot RHEL7.0 GA guest:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc  -cpu Penryn -m 6G -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -enable-kvm -nodefaults -nodefconfig -drive file=/home/rhel7/sn1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio-disk0, -device scsi-hd,bus=virtio-disk0.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=scsi-hd1 -vnc :10  -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=67108864  -monitor stdio -netdev tap,id=vnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vnet0,mac=54:52:1a:0b:c2:01,id=vnic1  -boot menu=on -qmp tcp:0:4444,server,nowait -vga std -serial unix:/tmp/s1,server,nowait

Result:
Use remote-viewer to display, GUI can not be displayed, I will attach the Xorg.0.log

b).Test spice + -vga std + -device qxl
1.Boot RHEL7.0 GA guest:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc  -cpu Penryn -m 6G -smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -enable-kvm -nodefaults -nodefconfig -drive file=/home/rhel7/sn1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio-disk0, -device scsi-hd,bus=virtio-disk0.0,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=scsi-hd1 -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864  -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=67108864  -monitor stdio -netdev tap,id=vnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vnet0,mac=54:52:1a:0b:c2:01,id=vnic1  -boot menu=on -qmp tcp:0:4444,server,nowait  -serial unix:/tmp/s1,server,nowait -vga std

Result:
Use remote-viewer to display, GUI can not be displayed, and will automatically come out 2 spice display. I will attach the Xorg.0.log

c.Test vnc/spice + -device qxl (comment 1 is fixed)
Result: works well, I will attach the Xorg.0.log

d.Test vnc/spice + -device qxl + -vga qxl
Result: works well, I will attach the Xorg.0.log


So according to above, the latest qemu-kvm-rhev 2.1 only fixed comment 1, did not fix the qxl+non_qxl issue

Created attachment 930787 [details]
spice + -device qxl ... works well, just attach the Xorg log

Created attachment 930788 [details]
spice + qxl and non_qxl, will display 2 display auto. attach the Xorg log

Created attachment 930789 [details]
vnc + qxl and non_qxl, can not display GUI, attach the Xorg log

Created attachment 930790 [details]
vnc with qxl , works well, just attach the Xorg log

Improved compared to 7.0, but not yet fully functional indeed.

Spoke to soon.  Seems to be a problem with remote-viewer or spice-gtk.

Details:

We have two display devices.  The easiest way to test out stuff is to create a seat for each display device, so you'll get a login screen on both displays.

(1) use loginctl to list the (default) seat0, find the qxl device nodes:

[root@rhel7 ~]# loginctl seat-status seat0
seat0
        Sessions: *c1
         Devices:
[ ... ]
                  ├─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/drm/card0
                  │ drm:card0
                  ├─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/graphics/fb0
                  │ [MASTER] graphics:fb0 "qxldrmfb"
[ ... ]

(2) Attach those two device nodes to another seat:

[root@rhel7 ~]# loginctl attach seat-qxl /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/drm/card0
[root@rhel7 ~]# loginctl attach seat-qxl /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/graphics/fb0

(3) reboot.

Expected behavior:

gdm login screen shows up on seat-qxl.
gdm login screen shows up on seat0 in case a kms driver is available
   [ rhel 7.0 guest: works with cirrus only ]
   [ rhel 7.1 guest: planned to work with both cirrus+stdvga, but the drm
                     backport isn't (yet) merged ]
   [ fedora 20 guest: works with both cirrus+stdvga if you install latest
                      kernel from updates ]
any user input (mouse+kbd) goes to seat0.

When using vnc:  You can use Ctrl-Alt-1 and Ctrl-Alt-2 hotkeys to switch between displays devices / seats.

When using spice:  You get two windows, one for each display device / seat.  In my testing this works just fine with rhel6 spicec.  remote-viewer has problems to deal with this though.

See also: http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=docs/multiseat.txt

please retest with latest qemu (2.3+) and virt-viewer packages.

Test components:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-15.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-302.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-2.0-5.el7.x86_64

test scenarios:
1.Test with virt-manager 

1.1  spice + -vga std + -device qxl ...
  
     result, in virt-manager window, only can get one window, and can not find the method to switch the window(if it have 2 windows)

1.2  vnc + -vga std + -device qxl ...
  
     result, n virt-manager window, only can get one window, and can not find the method to switch the window(if it have 2 windows)

2.Test with qemu cli directly and with virt-viewer

1.1  vnc + -vga std + -device qxl ...
     result, n virt-manager window, only can get one window, and can not find the method to switch the window(if it have 2 windows)

1.2 spice + -vga std + -device qxl ...
    
    result, 2 spice windows, and after attach the secondery graphic(qxl) to login, the 2 windows both have the login screen.
    
    issues:
    1.2.1 but the 2nd windows has no mouse+keyboard control.
    1.2.2 the virt-viewer crashed when switch the pty by "ctrl-alt-fx" --- I will file a bug against this.

So I think the latest qemu-kvm-rhev have fixed the bug.

Hi, Gerd

Could you help check above test, do you think it is fixed ?

Thanks,
