On review it was practical to cherry-pick the patches into 6.4 branch, so this is possible to implement without a rebase being required. Since I cannot get enough information from bug so I tried following steps but failed. Maybe I got something wrong Steps: 1. Launch a guest with following command /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -cpu Conroe -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -enable-kvm -name T1 -uuid feebc8fd-f8b0-4e75-abc3-e63fcdb67170 -k en-us -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/NFS/T1.img,if=none,id=disk0,format=raw,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait -boot c -chardev socket,path=/tmp/isa-serial,server,nowait,id=isa1 -device isa-serial,chardev=isa1,id=isa-serial1 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/serial-socket,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel1,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel1,id=channel1,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo -device virtconsole,chardev=foo,id=console0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -spice seamless-migration=on,port=5930,disable-ticketing -k en-us -vga qxl -global qxl.num_displays=2 (I constructed this command according to bug 770842) 2. Run remote-viewer spice://ip:5930 Actual result: 1. There is only one display appeared Expected result: 1. 2 displays launched. Additional info: 1. I've tried both windows and linux guest. In windows guest, I installed qxl driver and spice-agent. In linux, I installed spice-vdagent-0.12.0-2.el6.x86_64. Neither of them works. Geyang, you need a client that has at least two monitors physically and run virt-viewer with --full-screen=auto-conf to see if the feature works or not. My bad, the description in the original bug (that this is a clone of) is not at all how it was implemented. The number of displays is determined by the client via requests to the guest. Additionally, this is only for linux, windows driver and guest agent have not been changed in any way for this. What David said is correct, but I think there are still issues with remote-viewer in this mode. I've tried following steps but failed: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spice-server-0.12.0-1.el6.x86_64 spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch spice-glib-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.12.0-2.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-debuginfo-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-python-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-tools-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-2.el6.x86_64 I've installed these packages on both host and guest. Steps: 1. Got a notebook computer and connect another monitor to its VGA interface. 2. Install a spice+qxl guest. 3. Update above packages in both host and guest. 4. Run virt-viewer $guestname --full-screen=auto-conf Actual result: 1. Only 1 console appeared. Expected result: 1. I can see 2 consoles. Created attachment 631461 [details]

I don't think this is supported with virt-viewer, only with remote-viewer. Verified pass with remote-viewer: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spice-server-0.12.0-1.el6.x86_64 spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch spice-glib-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.12.0-2.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-debuginfo-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-python-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-tools-0.14-4.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-2.el6.x86_64 Steps: 1. Got a notebook computer and connect another monitor to its VGA interface. 2. Install a spice+qxl guest. 3. Update above packages in both host and guest. 4. Run remote-viewer spice://ip:port --full-screen=auto-conf Change this bug to verified. Since bug 867459 is still there, I cannot try this bug on rhevm, so skipped this scenario for now.
