Display in the virt-manager

Description of problem:
virt-manager only displays the non primary video which did not contain the login windows when boot guest with multiple video devices and the primary video devices not qxl.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.3.4-1.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Running a guest with two video devices:
  ...
   <video>
      <model type='vga' ram='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
    ...

2.Using virt-manager to open the guest, it only shows the non-primary graphic which does not contain login interface and it will lead to no way to access the os's graphic interface. please see the display in the attachment.


Actual results:
virt-manager displays the non-primary video when boot guest with multiple video devices and the primary video devices not qxl

Expected results:
virt-manager should display the primary video which contains the login windows even if the virt-manager not fully support multiple video devices display now.

Additional info:
1.virt-manager displays the primary video when the primary video device is qxl.
2.virt-viewer can displays two videos correctly.

Comment 2 Pavel Hrdina 2016-05-31 17:26:34 UTC
Actually virt-manager displays only the primary video device and only primary monitor of that device.  There is no support for multiple monitors in virt-manager.

We need to add support for multiple monitors into virt-manager.
