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 of problem:
Adding --full-screen=auto-conf option when connecting to a windows 7 guest with 2 monitors both on client and guest results in periodical flickering (configuration is periodically updated, even though there is no change)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a windows 7 VM with 2 qxl devices
2. Connect to it with --full-screen=auto-conf option
  
Actual results:
Displays flicker often enough to prevent any sort of meaningful work.

Expected results:
it should not update the configuration so often

Tomas, isn't there an already fixed bug for RHEV/mingw-virt-viewer? Can you add dependency relation between them? thanks
Comment 6 Tomas Jamrisko 2013-05-09 15:50:50 UTC 
I believe you mean this one, right? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952327

Adding it as dependency.
