This bug is for tracking eventual inclusion of the kernel side patch to fix spice + fedora wayland VM + spice-vdagent + resize-guest == flickering display, bug 1266484 There's a patch here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1266484#c71 But it's not posted upstream yet. In the short term we will work around the issue in qemu, but the kernel fix should also be included once it's in linux git (and may supersede the qemu side? I'm not entirely positive)
Thanks, I will keep an eye out for it upstream, and pull when it hits.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 25 kernel bugs. Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.9.3-200.fc25. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
The referenced patch is upstream now and will be in 4.10. But this issue was worked around in qemu as well so I don't think it's necessary to explicitly track this anymore. commit 9e3b317839298abc0ab796a691f8449a16792398 Author: Christophe Fergeau <cfergeau> Date: Tue Nov 8 10:12:08 2016 +0100 qxl: Don't notify userspace when monitors config is unchanged
