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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when attempting to connect multiple displays using a Windows 7 guest, remote-viewer would only show one display available, even when all settings in the manager and on the SPICE client itself were correctly configured. This was caused by a regression issue relating to changes to custom resolution commands. Now, connecting and displaying multiple monitors functions correctly.

This menu is dynamic only when the guest has dynamic multi-monitor config.

Is the guest 2nd monitor enabled?

Hi Marc-Andre,

Yes I checked in DeviceManger and both monitors are enabled, and the 2nd display is not shown by remote-viewer.  

I disabled one of the monitors from DeviceManager and restarted the system, and then remote-viewer shows me two displays, one of which is black and unusable.  If I then enable and start the RHEV Spice Agent (which gets shutdown after system restart after disabling one of the monitors) the 2nd display it works properly; however, after closing out remote-viewer (both monitors enabled) and launching it again from the UP/PUP it only shows one display.

And the 2nd one won't show up until I again disable one of the monitors and restart the VM and start the same process over again.

Comment 2 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-03-18 18:00:51 UTC 
This is probably a regression since we introduced the "escape" command for custom resoltion. The CreateGC call fails on disabled monitor, causing the rest of monitor configuration / auto-enable to fail.

Verifed that mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.3-23.el6ev, now has the 2nd monitor enabled form the View Display options when doing multimonitor, 

*tested it with Windows 7 client x86_64 and Windows 7 x86_64 guest
