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.

Description Evgheni Dereveanchin 2014-06-20 16:47:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing RHEL7 in RHEV and connecting to it using remote-viewer, window size changes are not causing the VM screen to resize accordingly. spice-vdagentd is installed and running in the VM. The same virt-viewer works as expected with RHEL6 VMs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-7.el7.x86_64 
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-9.el7.x86_64  

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open VM console from RHEV
2. resize console window

Actual results:
VM screen resolution does not change

Expected results:
VM screen resolution matches new window size

Here's the output I got from vdagentd when running it in debug mode:

The resolution never changed from 1024x768 and vdagent stopped responding completely after some time. Xorg.0.log does not list any attempts to resize the display either.
Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-06-20 17:54:14 UTC 
are you using a rhel6 host? If yes, this is likely a duplicate of bug 1075139

rhel7 VM guest resize fine on f20 host.

(the resizing code path with rhel7 is very different, it doesn't really involve vdagent - it's handled by kernel & mutter)
Comment 4 Evgheni Dereveanchin 2014-06-21 10:53:02 UTC 
Marc-Andre yes, a RHEL6 host is used (RHEL7 hosts are tech preview for RHEV 3.4 so all production RHEV deployments are on RHEL6). I can confirm that secondary display selection is unavailable either. The test build in 1075139 is for plain KVM, not RHEV so I am unable to confirm if it fixes the issue for me.
