Doc Text:	Previously, Windows did not use the API to provide coordinates when using multiple monitors, which caused the virtual monitors to change position. Now, Windows uses the API for managing monitor position, so monitors stay in the expected position.

Description Sandy Stutsman 2015-07-20 12:47:13 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1244878 +++

+++ 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.
