           Summary: Spice client full screen problem
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: client
        AssignedTo: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: gvenkat at attglobal.net


I have tried this with both 0.6 and 0.8 versions of Spice on OpenSuse 11.4

Starting spice client with -f (on the host itself) almost always makes the
screen black out. Programs are running behind but the screen is blacked out.
Using Compiz as window manager.

Most of the time (but not all), doing a Ctrl+Alt+F5 (to go into TTY5 mode) and
Ctrl+Alt+F7 in succession displays the screen correctly. VNC full screen has no
such problem so I am not sure this is a window manager problem. It is not a
full screen window that is black (in which case, it should be possible to
rotate to other desktops) but X itself seems stuck.

It is the most problematic, it seems when the guest resolution is close to the
host resolution 

I can have the guest resolution in a lower resolution (say 800x600) and running
full screen seems to work reliably and I can then change the resolution of the
guest to the host resolution with no problems to get the full display occupied.
But if I restart the spice client with that resolution and full screen, the
screen goes blank.

There is no problem starting this in windowed mode at any resolution on the
guest (including much higher resolution than the host display). Sometimes
toggling to full screen from windowed mode works correctly at the host
resolution but not always. 

Do let me know what additional information I can provide or try out to narrow
the problem.
