Hi, Note I'm currently working on a related problem, which I plan to fix in a way which interacts with patch 1 of this series.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894421 And specifically: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894421#c7 Actually let me copy and paste that comment here for easier reading / discussion: """ (In reply to comment #5) > Ah, ok I can reproduce now. To reproduce this requires: > 1) open a second display > 2) In gnome-display-settings do; > 1) select 1280x768 => apply > 2) select 1280x760 => apply > 3) select 1280x768 => apply Ok, so what is happening here is the following: 1) When making changes on a *dual* monitor setup gnome-display-settings calls XRRGetScreenResources rather then XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent, causing a call to xf86-video-qxl's modelist update function 2) xf86-video-qxl's modelist update function function gives a modelist for the monitor with all standard modes from the rom header + the current mode with the preferred mode flag set 3) What happens now is: a) Running at 1280x768, modelist is standard + preferred 1280x768, lets call this modelist1 b) change mode to 1280x760, gnome-settings-daemon remembers this as the user-selected mode for the monitor with modelist1 c) modelist gets updated, gnome-settings-daemon now sees a modelist of standard + preferred 1280x760, sees this as a new monitor with modelist2 d) change mode to 1280x768, gnome-settings-daemon remembers this as the user-selected mode for the monitor with modelist2 e) modelist gets updated, gnome-settings-daemon now sees a modelist of standard + preferred 1280x768, sees this as the return of the monitor with modelist1, has a user set mode of 1280x760 for this f) gnome-settings-daemon changes to the user set mode for this monitor of 1280x760 g) modelist gets updated, gnome-settings-daemon now sees a modelist of standard + preferred 1280x760, sees this as the return of the monitor with modelist2, has a user set mode of 1280x768 for this f) gnome-settings-daemon changes to the user set mode for this monitor of 1280x768, goto e) and loop infinitely I propose to fix this by not adding the current-mode as preferred mode. Instead always set 1024x768 as preferred mode to stop the initial mode too big problem for which the patch, adding the setting the current-mode as preferred mode, was added. """ BTW reading patch 1 again, I wonder what exactly it tries to solve, since currently when using spice with qemu (no experience with x-spice) you can already set modes > 1024x768 without problems.
