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.

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.

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?



Regards,
René
