Bump. I'll make it easy. This is a multiple choice response form. Anyone reading this can respond with one letter so save time and effort.

a) "We're too busy with RHEL 7/paying clients, come back in a month/some timeframe" b) "There's an SEP field on these problems, everyone who understands that code has moved on"
c) "Go away"
d) "Oops, I've been meaning to get back to you but I keep forgetting and life is hectic..."
e) "Didn't you hear? SPICE is dead."
f) "Other." Please elaborate using the space provided below:

This patch series addresses two critical bugs that prevent dual-head
from working in a linux-linux environment. (All testing done on F20
fully updated as guest, host and client).

We (myself and a colleague) have been using patched versions of qxl.ko
and xorg-qxl for a week or so and these patches definitely solve the
problems addressed by the invididual patches.

Patches are against F20 package source.

Please consider reviewing/accepting these patches without which dual
head cannot be used(*) in linux.

These patches or previous versions have been sent to the list but I
have not received any feedback.

(*) by coincidence, dual head with small-ish monitor sizes does work
better on gnome3 than it does with other DE (ie. MATE or fluxbox) due
simply to luck in the order that the monitors/surfaces ioctl are
called, but not due to any design.


I've opened/updated the freedesktop.org bugs with these two patches and some commentary. It would be helpful if the maintainers of the respective code bases (qxl.ko and xorg-qxl) could comment on these two patches or at least a "resend in one month - we're really busy" or something.

Bugs:

Multiple monitors broken in desktops other than gnome3 : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78131

xorg crashes due to assert() when a large "image" is created : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79317
