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.

Description Andrei Stepanov 2017-08-02 10:10:17 UTC 
RHEL 7.4 guest reports supported modes between: 800x600 - 1920x1080

User should be able to choose from higher resolutions.

At least, this range should be between 640x480 - 2560x1600

This is true for "Gnome->Settings->Displays" and for xrandr.

xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.5-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log to RHV Admin/User webportal.
2. Have RHEL 7 VM.
3. Connect to remote virtual desktop.
4. Go to Applications->SystemTools->Settings->Displays->Resolution

Actual results: Range of supported modes is between 800x600 - 1920x1080

Expected results: This range should be between: 640x480 - 2560x1600

Additional info: Windows7 guest reports correct range of supported modes.
Comment 2 Victor Toso 2018-12-11 14:56:33 UTC 
Doing quick triage. On RHEL 7.6 guest, minimum seems to be correct ~ 640x480.
Tried to increase memory and did not affect xrandr output nor GNOME's display settings. 1920x1200 seems to be the max (fullscreen here is 1920x1080)

> [root@localhost toso]# xrandr
> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192

Radek, do you happen to know if this is a regression?
Not sure who is at fault here but modes seems to come from the kernel

Comment 3 Radek Duda 2018-12-12 10:13:27 UTC 
I tried this to reproduce on rhel7.3 host. The maximum resolution here is 1920x1080 as well.
Nevertheless I think it is a regression. I remember I could set higher resolution to rhel7 guest than 1920x1080 in the past. Moreover we have a testcase for this https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/case/545010
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2018-12-12 10:21:45 UTC 
This is an issue in the guest QXL KMS driver
