Description Vimal Patel 2012-10-08 13:54:07 UTC
Description of problem:
When connecting to a a Win7 Guest with the latest qxl and virtio drivers using remote-viewer with the full screen option and the zoom option of 66 and below, the spice window appears full screen, but there are big black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.  

This seems very strange since doing full-screen and the zoom option of 67 shows up full screen with no black bars on the top or bottom.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Win 7 Guest:
qxl-win-unsigned-0.1-15
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-39

Win 7 Client:
mingw64-virt-viewer-0.5.3-11.el6.noarch

RHEL 6.3 Host:
Released version of 6.3 qemu-kvm & spice server


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remote-viewer --full-screen -zoom=<66 or lower> from mingw Win 7 64 client
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
full screen view of the guest with big black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

Expected results:
full screen view of the guest

Marc-Andre, can you take a look?

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-04 11:59:37 UTC
Please try with a more recent mingw-virt-viewer build, mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.3-23.el6ev works for me.

Please try also with rhel6 virt-viewer.

It's probably not a driver bug. I am not sure that version of qxl driver has arbitrary resolution. I can't get the commit 100524f2478f3ee7a46774fe3841ce1449e3cfda from git://git.engineering.redhat.com/users/alevy/qxl.git

(http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/qxl-win-unsigned/0.1/15/data/logs/win/build.log)

It should be there, since the next build qxl-win-unsigned-0.1-16 has it.

Tested this with the 
mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.3-23.el6ev on Windows 7 with a Windows 7 & RHEL 6,4 guests, and this works.

Can you add this to the mingw-virt-viewer errata and then change it to ON_QA?

Arbitrary resolution is part of the rebase for 3.2. And I am really not sure only mingw-virt-viewer fixed it, but rather an update of qxl or agent. I would rather just close that bug as current release.
