I am not aware of it, please check if it's already reported in freedesktop or redhat bugzillas (bugzilla.freedesktop.org and bugzilla.redhat.com respectively). If it isn't reported please report it in freedesktop, thanks! > > Is there any way that this works in fullscreen mode covering both screens of > my system? You mean you want to have a single qxl device (i.e. single monitor since each qxl device is a single monitor device) and the client should use both client (physical) screens in fullscreen? we don't support that in spicec afaik, and I don't think anyone has ever considered that - sounds useful if you have two monitors of the same resolution and physically adjacent. Actually just setting a resolution in the guest should work in windowed mode (set a large enough resolution and the window will use space from both monitors), but fullscreen I think will pick one of the monitors. > -- > Emre > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
