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.

Fixed In Version: vdagent-win-3.6-1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, Windows did not provide correct position information for multi-monitor in the monitors_config message to the spice client, which caused virtual monitors to change position. In this fix, the spice-vdagent code now uses APIs for managing monitor positions. As a result, monitors stay in the expected position.

Description Sandy Stutsman 2015-04-10 14:43:13 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1202419 +++

Description of problem:
Currently, Windows does not provide correct position information for multi-monitor in the monitors_config message to the spice client.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bring up a Windows VM with >1 monitor
2. Use the "Screen Resolution" applet to position the monitors
3. Notice that after clicking apply, the monitors are all positioned at the same X position

Actual results:
When using the Windows "Screen Resolution" to position monitors, the monitors are re-positioned at the same X location (0)

Expected results:
The monitor positions should remain at the position set by the user.

Additional info:
The solution required a new IOCTL to the Windows QXL driver that will allow VDAgent to pass updated position information to the driver which can then set it in the monitors_config message.
