Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
In multiple-monitor setups, it is now possible to specify which monitors are to be used by a virtual guest, and which are to be reserved for the local machine. This is done by editing the ~/.config/virt-viewer/settings file.

Description Mark Huth 2013-04-29 06:40:15 UTC
Description of problem:
remote-viewer should have a local user editable config file/registry settings to hard code the guest monitors on to the client monitors.  For example, our VDI users have 3 monitors (1 x 19" and 2 x 24") and they want their VM to put its screens on the 24" monitors.  We should be able to tell remote-view that it should use physical monitor X for the first guest screen, monitor Y for the second guest screen and so on.

Could you explain why mapping the guest configuration to match client configuration isn't suitable?

Do I understand correctly you are asking for the guest to be configured with 2 monitors shown on monitor 2 & 3 of the client?

Should this setting be per client/guest configuration? per client only? per guest only? any combination? Should it be configurable from RHEVM instead?

This brings a lot of questions on how to provide such feature, when you can  just place the client monitor windows manually, like any other application.

For what it's worth, devil's pie may be able to do this kind of positioning.

Hello Scott,

Any update about this request for 3.6?

Thanks!

This should be in MODIFIED, right? Since the rebase of virt-viewer will include this?

I consider it as the tracker bug, no place in errata.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233422 is ON_QA

Changing this to bug tracker then.

Comment 29 Yaniv Lavi 2015-08-27 14:07:55 UTC
Should this be on_qa?

Comment 30 Yaniv Lavi 2015-08-27 14:09:27 UTC
I understand it is a tracker, but if the dependent bugs are ON_QA this should be on qa.
