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.
Some multiple monitor and arbitrary resolution fixes are in drm-next:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=drm-next
With f20, you may also need the mutter fix:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711216
For f19, it should be working with drm-next.
Most of the fixes are now pushed into the Fedora kernel repos, I don't
have versions for where they'll show up yet.
FYI: For F19, I'm using:
kernel 3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64 (host + guest)
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-0.11.20130514git77a1594.fc19.x86_64 (guest)
spice-server-0.12.4-2.fc19.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.4.2-12.fc19.x86_64
For F20 beta:
kernel 3.11.7-300.fc20.x86_64 (host + guest)
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-1.fc20.x86_64 (guest)
spice-server-0.12.4-3.fc20.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.6.1-1.fc20.x86_64
I'll try updates-testing for F19 and see if that gets me anywhere.
I'd try the git version, but building xorg is usually a hassle and a
half. Are there directions on the wiki somewhere?
I'm happy to try.
Thanks,
David
