Probably you already visited this:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/SPICERelatedFeatures#Multi_Monitor_support_...
No, I didn't - thanks a lot for the link.
As it says it's for oVirt 3.1 it properly should be in oVirt 3.4.
but from the text is not so clear to me if it is completely doable or
not in 3.4 ...
The page refers to Xinerama in need to be configured inside the guest
I don't know if for QXL device and fedora 20 one has to trick with
xorg.conf or not putting something like
Hurra - we're in year 2014 and Linux is still not able to configure 2
screens with a simple click. :(
Btw, I don't even find a config file for ServerLayout section in /etc/X11.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "Clone" "off"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Screen 1 "Screen1" Below "Screen0"
EndSection
Does your Xorg.0.log gives any useful information regarding the two
devices and anythng about Xinerama?
In Xorg.0.log I can see the following:
qxl(0): Output Virtual-0 has no monitor section
qxl(0): Output Virtual-1 has no monitor section
qxl(0): Output Virtual-2 has no monitor section
qxl(0): Output Virtual-3 has no monitor section
<snip>
qxl(0): Output Virtual-0 connected
qxl(0): Output Virtual-1 disconnected
qxl(0): Output Virtual-2 disconnected
qxl(0): Output Virtual-3 disconnected
Whatever this mean. No clue about Xorg - should install X on my servers
to get more practice in it :)
Btw,
in Remote Viewer I can choosee View - Display and select Display 2.
In second remote viewer windows I see "Waiting for display 2..." - os it
seems that at least the port is for second display is open on my host.
So I guess oVirt is working fine and the question about the dual screen
mode can be answered best on Spice or Fedora mailing list?
