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 RHBA-2013:1578 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-viewer bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:39:50 UTC

Description Geyang Kong 2012-11-12 02:21:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
  Add introduction in man page of remote-viewer about connecting to rhel guest with multiple monitors.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-16.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. man remote-viewer

Actual results:
1. There is nothing about new functions of --full-screen=auto-conf.

Expected results:
1. Since bug 842305 has given some new functions to --full-screen=auto-conf, we should add something to introduce this and tell user how to connect to a rhel guest with multiple monitors.

Comment 9 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-10 01:09:08 UTC 
is attached patch ok?
Comment 10 Christophe Fergeau 2013-05-13 12:05:30 UTC 
s/initilialization/initialization
The " enabling or disabling extra monitors when necessary" could be clearer I think, I don't really understand what this is about by just reading it.
Comment 11 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-13 12:29:03 UTC 
So what about just:

If given the argument 'auto-conf', the remote server will be
reconfigured to try to match the client physical monitor configuration
when starting the connection. This is currently implemented by the Spice
backend only.
Comment 12 Christophe Fergeau 2013-05-13 14:02:27 UTC 
Maybe " If given..., the guest display configuration will be changed to try to match ..." ?
Comment 13 Christophe Fergeau 2013-05-24 14:39:56 UTC 
Marc-André, can you send a patch to virt-tools-list so that we get this in?

Comment 17 CongDong 2013-07-03 11:52:25 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug:
version:
# rpm -qa virt-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2.x86_64

steps:
# man remote-viewer

result:
...
-f, --full-screen
           Start with the window maximised to fullscreen
...

Verify:
version:
# rpm -qa virt-viewer
virt-viewer-0.5.6-1.el6.x86_64

Steps:
# man remote-viewer

result:
...
-f, --full-screen=<auto-conf>
           Start with the windows maximized to fullscreen.

           If the argument ’auto-conf’ is given, the remote display will be reconfigured to match at best the client physical monitor
           configuration on initialization, by enabling or disabling extra monitors as necessary. This is currently implemented by the Spice
           backend only.
...

As the result, the bug is fixed.
