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 Marian Krcmarik 2011-08-04 14:01:47 UTC
Description of problem:
Client results in blank screen (like no signal received by monitors) when connecting to a RHEL guest with --full-screen option (i.e. spicec -h $host -p $port --full-screen). 
This does not happen with older spice-client (0.8.0-2). It happens only against RHEL guest with spice-vdagent running.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-client 0.8.2-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a RHEL guest using "spicec -h $host -p $port --full-screen"
  
Actual results:
Blank screen - disconnected monitors

Expected results:
Guest dipslay in full-screen

Additional info:
I am using dual monitor.

I couldn't reproduce it with RHEL6 x86_64 client with two physical monitors + RHEL 6 guest with an agent running.
Regarding the Windows XP guest, did it have more than one monitor? Might this be related to #695323?

Noticed two things:
1. Be sure that you are logged in machine.
2. Be sure that your guest resolution before connecting is lower than client's native one.

I am not using Xinerama -> one guest screen only.

Sorry about troubles.

or please try to change resolution to lower while guest is in full-screen mode with resolution of client.

Comment 9 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-08 08:13:18 UTC
The resolution change seems to be needed to reproduce this bug.

Yes, sometimes resolution change leads to this same bug, Moreover When I connect to a Guest (with vdagent running) from User Portal resolution of guest is not aligned with client one. I am not sure It is related to this bug, but It might be.

Comment 11 Marian Krcmarik 2011-08-09 15:52:03 UTC
Happing as well when connect to a guest during booting, when switching to a console by Alt+Ctrl+F2.

Comment 12 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-10 10:03:36 UTC
Looking more into this bug, it happens because of this change:

It seems to be happening because mon or screen is never set to the right resolution, thus the screen stays black because the resolution is wrong (?). Moreover, calling rearrange_monitors after screen->resize seems to cause the 
VM display not to be centered properly on the screen.

This patch helps with this bug, but I have no idea whether this causes other regressions, nor if that is the right fix.

Hi,
when resizing the screen, the monitors mode (resolution) should be set according to the size of the screen (which is the dimension of the corresponding surface). This is what rearrange_monitors does, and it does it for all monitor-screen pairs. So rearrange_monitors should be called, but according to what Christophe found, it should be called before the actual resize takes place. However, since it is not longer called from the Screen class (for avoiding the #692976), and should be called before Screen::resize it should be able to receive sizes as parameter and not only use the Screen::size.
Attached a patch. Still need to test it thoroughly

Comment 15 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-15 15:10:40 UTC
I tested this patch with master and it's working for me. I can no longer reproduce the bug when using it, and the display is correctly centered when I play with resolution changes. Took me a bit more time than expected to test because I hit yet another fullscreen bug :-/ (screen going black when switching to full screen with a resolution real close to the native LCD resolution)

Comment 16 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-15 15:11:39 UTC
Btw, I tested with a f15 client and rhel 6.1 guest with agent, and didn't try more than going in and out of fullscreen in various situation, changing resolution a few times.
