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.

Hi Vadim,
Which virtio-win-prewhql have you try on? for this issue I didn't hit on win10-like guest with prewhql-193, it can adjust display resolution automatically to match viewer's window size after installed viogpudo.
I guest you used the latest prewhql-pkg right?

Hi Dehan,

It adjusts display window size but not the actual Windows display resolution. 

Best,
Vadim.

Hi Vadim,

I tried this new feature on guest win10-64(q35), details and a question as following:

version:
  RHEL-9.0.0-20210607.0
  virtio-win-prewhql-201
  virt-viewer-10.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

steps:
1. bootup win10-64 guest with virtio-vga device successfully.
2. install viogpudo driver in pkg virtio-win-prewhql-201.
3. copy  viogpuap.exe and vgpusrv.exe to C:\windows\system32
4. open cmd to run "vgpusrv.exe -i", service can be start successfully.
5. To connect this guest on host RHEL9 via "remote-viewer vnc:xx.xx.xx.xx:590x" and check button "Auto resize" on the top bar of remote-viewer windows.
6. Drag the corner of remote-viewer windows.

Actual result:
Resolution can change automatically successfully after the above operation.

Expected result:
As above

Thanks for your effort and @zhiyi help and mail update. I'll run this new support on other versions of windows guests. But another thing I want to confirm is that this new function is based on the latest version of virt-viewer, but the resize function of virt-viewer does not seem to work properly on RHEL850. If I am doing something wrong, please point it out and I'll give it another shot with your suggestions, thank you.

Cheers

Thank a lot. 
I cannot comment on RHEL850 virt-viewer because I never tried it on my system.
However, this feature is mostly based on virtio-gpu ability to notify guest
front-end (viogpudo.sys in our case) driver about scanout resizing event.

Another thing, that I want to mention is that by default the minimal 
resolution is limited as 640x480 unless, "FlexResolution" Registry parameter
is set to "1" 

Do you think we can move it to verified or it will be better to give it a bit 
more time to be sure that this feature is fully tested?

Best regards,
Vadim.
