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.

Comment 4 CongDong 2014-10-09 02:17:04 UTC 
I can reproduce with virt-viewer-0.6.0-6.el7

VERIFY with virt-viewer-0.6.0-7.el7.x86_64:

Steps:
1. man virt-viewer
...
CONFIGURATION
       A small number of configuration options can be controlled by editing the settings file located in the user
       configuration directory:

           <USER-CONFIG-DIR>/virt-viewer/settings

       This file is a text file in INI format, with application options in the [virt-viewer] group and per-guest options
       in a group identified by the guest's UUID. The application options should not be edited manually. There is also a
       special [fallback] group which specifies options for all guests that don't have an explicit group.

       For each guest, the initial fullscreen monitor configuration can be specified by using the monitor-mapping key.
       This configuration only takes effect when the -f/--full-screen option is specified.

       The value of this key is a list of mappings between a guest display and a client monitor. Each mapping is separated
       by a semicolon character, and the mappings have the format <GUEST-DISPLAY-ID>:<CLIENT-MONITOR-ID>.

       For example, to map guest displays 1 and 2 to client monitors 2 and 3 for the guest with a UUID of
       e4591275-d9d3-4a44-a18b-ef2fbc8ac3e2, use:

           [e4591275-d9d3-4a44-a18b-ef2fbc8ac3e2]
           monitor-mapping=1:2;2:3
...

Can get the description for monitor-mapping function.

2. man remote-viewer
...
       To connect to a virtual machine named "toliara" on an oVirt server at example.org

          remote-viewer ovirt://[username@]example.org/toliara
...

Have an example of ovirt connection.

As the result, set VERIFIED.
