Hi,
No configuration nor Xinerama should be needed. Just make sure you have spice-vdagent package installed, spice-vdagentd service running and two spice-vdagent processes running (one for *dm, one for your user session). Then enable other monitors in virt-viewer: check View -> Displays -> Display N.
No Xinerama sounds great! vdagent was already installed and is running: $ ps -ef | grep vdagent root 729 1 0 17:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd rkoch 1487 1 0 17:52 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/spice-vdagent When I open a second monitor in virt-viewer it says "Waiting for display 2..." and my vdagent services stops: $ ps -ef | grep vdagent root 729 1 0 17:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd In /var/log/messages I can see the following: Apr 8 17:53:07 pc02 kernel: [ 128.497232] input: spice vdagent tablet as /devices/virtual/input/input5 Apr 8 17:53:07 pc02 kernel: input: spice vdagent tablet as /devices/virtual/input/input5 Apr 8 17:53:11 pc02 spice-vdagentd: closed vdagent virtio channel My vm has now the following settings: OS: Linux Optimized for: Desktop Monitors: 2 Single PCI: activated
Xinerama is an old hackish means to multimonitor for linux guests with numerou disadvantages so please avoid that. If you really really want to use xinerama, then switch your OS type to Windows and your VM will get multiple qxl devices that xinerama depends on.
I don't want to use it and hack in Xorg config files :) Regards, René

Hi,
I'm trying to virtualize my Fedora 20 workstation on oVirt 3.4 with 2 screens.
No matter if I choose Server or Desktop and operating system Linux or RHEL 6.x x64 (surprisingly Fedora is missing in the list) my Fedora guest (or better say LXRandR) only recognizes 1 monitor.
ps -ef | grep myvm shows me that there are 2 monitors (or at least I think that I can interpret the output this way): -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.ram_size=134217728 -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432
Does anyone know how I can make my Fedora guest work with 2 screens? Thanks!
