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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2014:0053 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE spice-qxl-driver-win bug fix and enhancement update 2014-01-21 19:42:02 UTC

Description Alon Levy 2013-07-17 12:28:00 UTC
Right now we allow setting a special registry value to disable surfaces. This feature request is to change the default to off and change the registry key name to "SurfacesEnabled".

The new logic would be:

If there is no registry key then
 do not enable surfaces.
else
 enable surfaces

Comment 1 Alon Levy 2013-08-08 14:23:43 UTC
David,

 What is the proper way to say there is an unsigned version of the driver that fixes this bug, but no signed one yet? put it on MODIFIED with the qxl-win-unsigned version (as I'm just doing)?
