[ovirt-users] Fwd: spice console resolution now exceeding 1024x768

[John Nguyen]

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
