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 Geyang Kong 2012-12-27 10:53:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
  Remote-viewer will create only 1 or 2 consoles if client machine has more than 3 physical monitors

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.0-10.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.14-6.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.14-6.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-tools-0.14-6.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-6.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.12.0-3.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Install a RHEL6.4 host and a RHEL6.4 guest with gnome.
2. Make sure guest has spice+qxl video devices and spicevmc channel exists.
3. Upgrade spice packages in both host and guest.
4. Have at least 3 physical monitors plugged on the host.
5. remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5900 --full-screen=auto-conf

Actual results:
1. After step 5, remote-viewer only creates 1(sometimes 2) form.

Expected results:
1. There should be 3 or 4 forms(same as number of physical monitors), in full-screen mode, displayed in each of physical monitor

Additional info:
1. If host has 2 physical monitors, this command will work well
Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-09 23:21:52 UTC 
more likely a vdagent or xf86-qxl issue.

Reporter, can you attach the SPICE_DEBUG=1 log when you connect to guest? thanks

Log file with SPICE_DEBUG=1

I have attached log files with SPICE_DEBUG=1 based on following build:
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.12.0-4.el6_4.1.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.0-12.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-xpi-2.7-22.el6.x86_64
Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-21 12:25:42 UTC 
The guest monitor config doesn't match request:

(remote-viewer:4263): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:969 main-1:0: monitor config: #0 1280x1024+0+0 @ 32 bpp
(remote-viewer:4263): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-main.c:969 main-1:0: monitor config: #1 1680x1050+1280+0 @ 32 bpp

(remote-viewer:4263): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-display.c:1540 display-2:0: monitor id: 0, surface id: 0, +0+0-1280x1024
(remote-viewer:4263): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-display.c:1540 display-2:0: monitor id: 2, surface id: 0, +1280+0-2560x1600
(remote-viewer:4263): GSpice-DEBUG: channel-display.c:1540 display-2:0: monitor id: 3, surface id: 0, +3840+0-2560x1600

The guest resize seems to have failed, the pimary is only 1280x768, so none of the extra monitor fit (monitor area is not intersecting)

Can you please attach the vdagent log?

thanks

Hi,

Looking at the log:
May 21 22:51:09.170759 spice-vdagentd: warning: Client has 4 monitors, but only 1 qxl devices found

You seem to be using an old agent, as the latest agent (spice-vdagent-0.12.0-4.el6_4.1) no longer generates these messages. Please make sure your guest has the latest version of the agent and of xorg-x11-drv-qxl.

Regards,

Hans

I tried it with spice-vdagent-0.12.0-4.el6_4.1 and xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-4.el6, this bug is still there, what I got from the spice-vdagent.log is like following:

May 22 05:24:29.192847 spice-vdagent[2322]: err: XRRSetScreenSize failed, not enough mem?

I tried to edit ram and vram of QXL through virsh command, set them as 256MB, but nothing changed.

As the log message already says, the problem is that XRRSetScreenSize failed, usually this is caused by not enough videoram, but you say you've already tried raising that. Can you please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log from inside the guest, after a failed attempt ?

Comment 9 Hans de Goede 2013-06-26 08:14:08 UTC 
Thanks for the log, interesting part of the log:

[   318.864] (II) qxl(0): qxl_xf86crtc_resize: Placeholder resize 5920x1050
[   318.864] resizing primary to 5920x1050
[   318.864] resizing surface0 to 24864000
[   318.864] resizing surface0 compiled out
[   318.864] not resizing primary to virtual, leaving old virtual

So this seems to be an xorg-x11-drv-qxl issue, changing component.
Comment 12 Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2014-05-15 14:53:01 UTC 
If anyone is still paying attention to this bug, please test this build of the QXL driver:
