Monitor resize is handled by the spice-vdagent app in the *guest* system, it
must be installed and running in the guest for that to work. It serves the
same purpose as the guest tools in vmware, virtualbox etc.

Dual monitors needs the qxl drivers working (xserver-xorg-video-qxl) and
kernel support - can't remember which version, but I know there were some
kernel patches related to that. Fedora 20 didn't have them but they may have
been added since.

Thanks for the clarification. All of this is somewhat known to me although I did not know there are recent kernel patches that may be missing from F20 qxl.ko.

My situation is: dual monitors works (with qxl.ko loaded in the F20 guest of course) when the guest desktop environment is gnome3, but does not work when the guest desktop environment is mate or fluxbox.

I am trying to identify what is different between these two environments so I'd like to be able to trace the messages going back and forth to some degree.

How can I see the messages being generated/received by spice-vdagentd in the guest?

FYI: Host, guest and client are all F20 fully updated (and running on the same machine).

Thanks,
David
