Hello,
I'm very sorry if this question has been covered before. I've recently deployed the Ovirt 4 release on a CentOS 7.2 host. I'm delighted with the dashboard improvements over the 3.6 release. However I'm experiencing an issue with trying to resize my spice console pass 1024x768 resolution. The vm to shows an "Unknown Display".
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Yours, John N

Hello John, This seems to be unrelated to Spice, and also happens with VNC and without QXL device. I suppose you are trying to change the resolution from within the guest using system Settings -> Displays. Please try the following methods: 1. Simply enlarge the "console" window with your mouse on the client side. With Spice (and vdagent running), that should adjust your guest resolution (although may not be exactly 1024x768). Or 2. In your guest, try to adjust resolution using xrandr: open a gnome-terminal and run xrandr | grep Virtual ( make sure "Virtual-0" is the name to use) xrandr | grep '*' ( see the resolution before/after the change) xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 1024x768 (set the resolution) Hope that helps, Uri.

Hi Uri, Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately I wasn't able to resize the console either with the mouse method or with xrandr command. When I resize the console window the image looks blurry similar to a miss-sized image in a browser. When I try the xrandr command. I receive the following error: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RRSetScreenSize) Serial number of failed request: 36 Current serial number in output stream: 37 I've tested the remote-viewer from Window 10, CentOS 6.7 and CentOS 7.2 with the same results. Also the engine is built on CentOS7.2 Minimal installation if that helps. Thanks for your insight. John On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 1:52 PM, Uri Lublin <uril@redhat.com> wrote:
