Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-11 14:11:54 UTC
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 14:25:57 UTC
Components involved: spice-gtk
- windows guest: win-qxl, spice-vdagent
- linux guest: all components from bug 894350

Comment 3 Uri Lublin 2013-01-29 15:22:21 UTC
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).
