Hello all,
The following feature page describes the engine adjustments needed
for new SPICE features.
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/SPICERelatedFeatures
Al in all this looks good, some remarks:
* WRT multi monitor support for RHEL, the latest RHEL
xorg-x11-drv-qxl and
spice-vdagent packages do support multi monitor support using
multiple
cards in Xinerama mode. We are waiting for a RHEL-6 z-stream
update to
fix an x11-xorg-server-Xorg bug which atm makes the mouse unusable
in this
mode wants this lands, multi-monitor support this way should be
available
for RHEL-6.2 (and later) guests. The same holds true for Fedora
guests,
although I don't expect the necessary Xorg changes to be available
for
versions older then Fedora 17. The driving multiple monitors from
a single
qxl device support OTOH is still a long time away, likely 6 months
or so.
The idea behind this support is to have it on a single PCI card, and not on
multiple ones.
Right, I understand, but my point is, that current RHEL (and other Linux distro
based)
hypervisors as well as guests do not support the multiple monitors on a single
PCI card setup, but they *do* support the multiple monitors, with each a
separate
PCI card setup like we also do for windows. This means that we may want to
enable
multiple monitor support for Linux guests *now* using the same code paths /
method
as for windows guests and then later, for vms where both the guest and the
cluster
support the multiple monitors on a single PCI card setup, use that instead.
Which
is not something which the wiki page reflects.
Regards,
Hans
