Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:0888 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.2 update 2013-06-10 20:55:41 EDT

  None (edit)
Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-11 09:11:54 EST
When resizing a spice client window, we adjust the Windows display resolution to do a best match, to avoid black-borders or scaling. The current driver supports only a limited set of resolutions.

By adding arbitrary resolution, we can adjust guest display to fit exactly to the client window, for any size.
Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-11 09:25:57 EST
Components involved: spice-gtk
- windows guest: win-qxl, spice-vdagent
- linux guest: all components from bug 894350
Comment 3 Uri Lublin 2013-01-29 10:22:21 EST
For RHEL-6.4 and Windows guests running on RHEL-6.4 hosts, this feature should already be available.
Code to support Windows guests is available in RHEVM-3.1
Code to support RHEL guests is available in RHEL-6.4
RHEL-6.4 qemu-kvm is needed on hosts for revision 4 of qxl device
(this may also be done with previous RHEL hosts by changing the command line to specifically set qxl-vga revision to 4).
