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.

Comment 2 Vimal Patel 2013-11-12 21:13:38 UTC 
I see the same issue.  Display 2 doesn't detect the 2nd monitor

Testing Configuration:
Client: RHEL 7  RHEL-7.0-20131106.n.1

virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64
usbredir-0.6-5.el7.x86_64

Guest: RHEL 6.5 RC1.2
spice-vdagent-0.14.0.2-el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.0-7.el6.x86_64

Host: RHEL 7  RHEL-7.0-20131106.n.1
spice-server-0.12.4-3.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-11.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-13.el7.x86_64

More information on the issue:
On Virt Manager, I only set 2 displays (2 QXL Video devices).
When connecting to the VM, it shows Displays 1,2,3,and 4 being available, so this may be another bug I believe only Display 1 & 2 should be available as choices for the user.

Then if I try to use 2 monitors using 1 & 2, display 2 never works.  Displays 3 & 4 both work.  So I can use 1,3,4, but 2 never works.
Comment 3 Vimal Patel 2013-11-12 21:41:44 UTC 
I also see the following log message from remote-viewer:
(remote-viewer:7735): remote-viewer-CRITICAL **: virt_viewer_app_display_added: assertion 'virt_viewer_app_get_nth_window(self, nth) == NULL' failed.

Multiple QXL device with Linux guest/xrandr is no supported for multimonitor & arbitrary/resolution. Please try again with a single QXL device.
Comment 5 hyao@redhat.com 2013-11-13 04:30:50 UTC 
Restest with the following packages on rhel7. 
# rpm -qa libvirt virt-viewer spice-*
spice-glib-0.20-6.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-12.el7.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.4-3.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk3-0.20-6.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.7-2.el7.x86_64
spice-xpi-2.8-4.el7.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-5.el7.x86_64


1.Install a rhel6.5 guest with one  spice+qxl device and spicevmc channel
2.Run #virt-viewer guestname and remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5900
3. Check the 4 available displays and all the 4 displays works. 

Based on comment 4 "Multiple QXL device with Linux guest/xrandr is no supported for multimonitor & arbitrary/resolution. Please try again with a single QXL device.",  and since add one qxl device works I close this bug.
