Hi All,
You may remember me as the guy who about once a month complains that
multiple "monitors" simply doesn't work in linux.
I have tested various configurations of centos 6, fedora 19 and fedora
20 beta as host, guest and client.
Well I think I've finally made some progress which I'll thought worth
reporting back.
These results (below) are approximately the same on Fedora 20 beta and
Fedora 19 (host+guest+client).
I was trolling through the Fedora "features" (or whatever they're called
now) and noticed that qxl KMS driver has made it's way into fedora.
That gave me an idea: disable it! Sure enough, things are WAAAAYYY more
stable after blacklisting qxl.ko.
Right away 3 major problems go away:
1) second "monitor" shows entire workspace (e.g. monitor 1 and 2 combined)
2) actual mouse position offset up and left from displayed mouse position
3) qxl/spice crash after disconnecting, which prevents reconnecting to
the VM (although VM quite happy) until "power cycle"
I still cannot get 1900x1200 on both monitors, but this could be a
memory limitation. I'm back to the defaults, which I believe are 64MB.
However, at least the system "gracefully" degrades to a resolution less
than what I requested, and stays stable.
If anyone wants any kind of debugging, logs etc. with/without qxl.ko
installed to narrow this down, I'll do it. Let me know.
So kudos to all for what I've always hoped to see, and finally do!
Looking good everybody.
