RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Step 6:
There are 4 displays, display 2 is enabled.

Expected results:
After disable the display, status of the screen in guest should be disconnected.
Reconnect the guest again, the dispaly should keep disabled.

I can reproduce
Comment 4 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-20 12:38:47 UTC 
The configuration is correctly sent to guest:
(virt-viewer:3696): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:1176 main-1:0: monitor config: #0 1024x768+0+0 @ 32 bpp
(virt-viewer:3696): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:1176 main-1:0: monitor config: #2 400x375+1424+0 @ 32 bpp
(virt-viewer:3696): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:1176 main-1:0: monitor config: #3 400x375+1824+0 @ 32 bpp
(virt-viewer:3696): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:1954 main_agent_handle_msg: reply: type 2, success

However, the agent doesn't correctly "disconnect" the display:
qxl-1 connected
   1024x768       60.0 +

(note the missing config next to "qxl-1 connected"!)

A second monitor config message with the same content is enough to solve the issue.

This quite clearly points out an agent bug. moving
Comment 5 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-20 12:52:54 UTC 
It seems xrandr doesn't support disconnecting monitors with sparse config. 

monitors 1,2,3: enabled, disabling 3:
xrandr --output qxl-2 --off -> disconnected


monitors 1,2,3: enabled, disabling 2:
xrandr --output qxl-2 --off -> connected
Comment 6 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-20 12:56:01 UTC 
David, any idea why sparse monitors don't get "disconnected" with xrandr (see comment #5)

> It seems xrandr doesn't support disconnecting monitors with sparse config. 

I don't think it's a xrandr issue. When tested on a RHEL7 guest (where the issue doesn't happen), I have as output the same I have in RHEL6:

[ffidenci@rhel7 ~]$ xrandr | grep connected
Virtual-0 connected primary 1600x807+0+0 0mm x 0mm
Virtual-1 connected 400x373+1600+0 0mm x 0mm
Virtual-2 connected 400x373+2000+0 0mm x 0mm
Virtual-3 disconnected
[ffidenci@rhel7 ~]$ xrandr --output Virtual-1 --off
[ffidenci@rhel7 ~]$ xrandr | grep connected
Virtual-0 connected primary 1600x807+0+0 0mm x 0mm
Virtual-1 connected
Virtual-2 connected 400x373+2000+0 0mm x 0mm
Virtual-3 disconnected

However, when disabling the monitor by the virt-viewer menu (Displays -> Display 1), it changes the root size window, triggering a ConfigureNotify event that will end up in the agent cide and then the monitor will be disabled. It doesn't happen with the RHEL-6.6, the ConfigureNotify event is never triggered.

I've tested with the *same* agent on RHEL6 and RHEL7.
Any kind of tip from people more experienced with X will be really appreciated, if it does look like something trivial/easy to see.

Actually, this solution is wrong and a proper solution was found on the virt-viewer side. The virt-viewer patch can be found here https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2015-March/msg00024.html (so, I'm keeping the status as POST) and I'm moving the bug to virt-viewer.
