Upstream commit: commit 4506d49ff55eea9649f02db5c9449084add2dc4d Author: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina> Date: Fri May 20 17:51:02 2016 +0200 addhardware: don't remove QXL if VNC graphics are configured Commit 1a6e803a introduced a fix for bogus behavior of QXL+VNC where there was no cursor visible by disabling this configuration in virt-manager. We should enable it again because this is a supported configuration and the bug was actually in QEMU. This is now fixed in qemu-2.6.0 [1] so revert commits 1a6e803a and 67ca0a9f. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1326544 [1] http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg00507.html
I can reproduce this issue with package virt-manager-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch Then try to verify with new build: virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-14.el7.x86_64 libvirt-python-2.0.0-1.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1. Prepare a health guest with Display: vnc Video: cirrus 2. Scenario-1 change video model to QXL 2.1 Launch virt-manager, and try to change video to other mode: QXL # virt-manager Select virtual machine 'rhel6.8latest'--->Open--->'Show virtual machine details'--->change video model from 'cirrus' to 'qxl' Result: 'QXL' is displayed in video model and can be selected. Virtual machine with vnc+qxl can boot up with no error. 3. Scenario-2 add video model QXL 3.1 Shut off guest and restore its configuration to vnc+cirrus. In 'Show virtual machine details' page, add new Video to virtual machine. Result: QXL video model is showed and can be add as second video to virtual machine when display is vnc. Virtual machine with vnc+cirrus+qxl can boot up with no error. Since QXL is added to video model when display is vnc in virt-manager, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
