</div></div>I am not aware of it, please check if it's already reported in freedesktop or<br>
redhat bugzillas (<a href="http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">bugzilla.freedesktop.org</a> and <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com" target="_blank">bugzilla.redhat.com</a> respectively).<br>
If it isn't reported please report it in freedesktop, thanks!<br>

</div>You mean you want to have a single qxl device (i.e. single monitor since each qxl<br>
device is a single monitor device) and the client should use both client (physical)<br>
screens in fullscreen? we don't support that in spicec afaik, and I don't think<br>
anyone has ever considered that - sounds useful if you have two monitors of the<br>
same resolution and physically adjacent. Actually just setting a resolution in the<br>
guest should work in windowed mode (set a large enough resolution and the window<br>
will use space from both monitors), but fullscreen I think will pick one of the monitors.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, not really. In my setup, I have a big VGA monitor (22") with 1920x1080 resolution, and below it, I have my laptop screen (1280x800). For example, I adjust 2nd screen to match the laptop resolution (ie 1280x800), so I get a 2nd window matching this in my host.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I want to maximize this window in the laptop screen such that it covers the entire screen (since resolutions match) --> fullscreen. </div><div><br></div><div>We can image the same thing if the 1st window (ie 1920x1080) also matches the VGA monitor at 1920x1080. It shall also be "fullscreen-able". </div>
<div><br></div><div>In the current client, if I set a 2nd monitor of 1280x800, I get this window in the host system, I move it to the laptop screen (at 1280x800 also), but I have to deal with the window borders and it can't be fully occupying the whole screen in that monitor. Hope I could explain myself :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>It would be good, if we could double click any client window border and it can become fullscreen in the monitor it is residing, with a key-press option to return to a window mode (ie CTRL+ALT+ENTER etc.). With this, I could have a virtual system exactly as if I'm working on real hardware.</div>
