Fixed In Version: mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.3-25.el6ev
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when attempting to connect to a multi-monitor guest in fullscreen mode, secondary monitors would sometimes keep flashing in a loop. Now, an unecessary extra monitor reconfiguration message has been removed and any extra monitors no longer flash when in fullscreen mode.

Description David Jaša 2013-04-15 16:34:17 UTC
Description of problem:
with RHEV-M's "full screen" or CLI "--full-screen=auto-conf", secondary monitor of the guest keeps flashing (as if the resolution of it was changing in the loop - to the same one)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mingw-virt-viewer-0.5.3-24 / Windows XP
vdagent-win -16 (Windows 7 64b)
qxl-win -16

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a windows VM with 2+ monitor but just one active
2. connect to the VM from 2+ monitor client with RHEV-M "Full screen" checked or with "--full-screen=auto-conf" on CLI
3.
  
Actual results:
after the connection, the second monitor keeps flashing and can not be effectively used because any mouse work is interrupted every other second

Expected results:
second monitor flashes just once at guest monitor resolution is adjusted to client one

Contrary to Vimal's setup, the first monitor was still perfectly usable but the secondary kept flashing. Things were OK when going fullscreen from windowed mode.

Comment 8 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-22 19:38:06 UTC
very likely vdagent bug, due to custom resolution regression when enabling extra monitors.

Sent patch to fix this on spice-gtk side:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2013-April/013171.html

It would be worth to fix vdagent too to not reconfigure monitor with same config, but it's another story.
