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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2011:1614 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-viewer bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:51:05 UTC

Description Daniel Berrangé 2011-02-24 17:10:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Upstream virt-viewer now has the ability to connect to a guest's SPICE display, in addition to existing VNC support. This will be useful for people deploying RHEL guests using SPICE. Thus we should rebase to the 0.3.1 release of virt-viewer in RHEL-6.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.2.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to use virt-viewer on a guest with spice graphics
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No display

Expected results:
SPICE displayed

Daniel ,very thanks for your help,below is detail of my verification for multihead

verify SPICE multihead support with :
virt-viewer-0.4.1-1.el6
libvirt-0.9.4-2.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.177.el6

Step:
  1:Install a new Windows XP guest
  2:Change the guest to use SPICE graphics and have a single QXL video card
  3:Boot the guest, and install the WHQL'd 'QXL' driver in Windows.
  4:Reboot the guest and check QXL is working properly
  5:Shutdown the guest
  6:Add another 'video' element to the guest XML
  #virsh dumpxml winxp
.......
 <graphics type='spice' port='5900' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
    </graphics>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
.......
