Right, the mapping between physical and virtual displays is random.
Maybe we can show that map to users, and even let him to change it
somehow, according
to their liking. That's a new feature, regardless of this patch.
This means that virt-viewer will show a "waiting for display" message
for the disabled monitor, and it will enable monitors on unexpected
channels (turning on 3 will enable 4...)
That's a indeed confusing, but the user can figure out the right mapping
and not use the disabled monitor.
I wonder if the VM shouldn't just refuse to start if this ressource
problem occurs.
Maybe.
But maybe using 3 monitors is better than not being able to start.
Is it a VRAM resource limit?
It has to do with the VRAM (and RAM) size.
I think it's something to do with the bios (memory space is limited).
Thanks for reviewing,
Uri.
