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 of problem:
If you'll start spicec with fullscreen option then Xorg on a RHEL 6 client is completely messed and you need to switch to console and back to Xorg to get it redraw correctly.
This happens also when you're switching from window mode to fullscreen mode.
This does not happen with windows guest. Seems to be RHEL6 guest specific.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-client-0.8.0-2.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-2.1.el6_0.1.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.14.0-1.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.8.1-1.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.171.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
start rhel6 guest
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect using any way to the guest
2. switch to fullscreen (does not matter if it's with spicec -f or later by using shift+f11)
Actual results:
nothing is readable on the screen artefacts are all arround, even after closing spicec
Workaround: switch to console and then back to X
Expected results:
No artefacts should appear
Additional info:
Nothing special in spicec log
Reproducible always on my setup (just with one monitor)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
Switching spice-client forces client to change resolution, so the real problem is really just changing resolution on mentioned intel gpu.
Reproducer:
xrandr -s RESOLUTION_MODE
I've tried few builds back but I felt into several issues:
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.15.0-2.el6 (reported against)
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.15.0-1.el6 (same issue)
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.14.0-1.el6 (does not recognize multiple displays and allows only 1440x900)
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-7.el6 (same as 2.14.0-1)
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6 (same as 2.14.0-1)
Hope that it will give you any ideas. (This issue happens for not more than one month). Wasn't there any big change in Xorg or in glibc that could cause it?
Seems like issue got fixed by update:
of xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.15.0-2.el6.x86_64 or kernel-2.6.32-174.el6.x86_64
Closing as current release.
Feel free to open bug if the issue occurs again.
