I hope it's OK to ask a basic question on the -devel list, but this is what was 
listed in the Support section....
I'm using virt-manger, and its related suite of stuff, to run KVM/QEMU VM's on 
a Debian Bullseye host, which has two 4K monitors. I am unable to get dual-head 
working at all, and I can't get 4K resolution working in the way I'm apparently 
supposed to.
I have a Debian Bullseye guest, with spice-vdagent and the QXL video drivers 
installed in it. The Spice user manual suggests that multiple-monitor support 
is easy; you're supposed to use a Video QXL device and then everything should 
just work. But it doesn't. Even when I increase the video memory in the XML 
file (vgamem, I assume) to 64MB I am unable to get 4K on even a single monitor 
using Settings -> Display on the guest; it maxes out at some arbitrary-seeming 
thing a bit over 1980 x 1200. And regardless of resolution, I also do not have 
a second monitor available in the guest.
If I have a video device set to Virtio, then 4K works perfectly on the guest 
machine; if I go to Settings -> Display there, I can select 4096 x 2160, and I 
get lovely 4K video. However, dual-head does not work. If I try to edit the XML 
for the video device to 'heads="2"', there is no effect--at least, when I 
restart the guest and go to Settings -> Display, there isn't an option for 
selecting another monitor.
Could someone tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?  Thank you.
