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.

    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.

Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2016-07-19 10:31:03 UTC 
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.
