[Spice-devel] Dual and more head monitor support

[Roman Lazarev]

Howdy!

We have compiled spice based on the 0.4.0 release. We were able to spin up a
Windows image, and connect to it using a spice client. We have then
procceded to configure qemu with "--qxl 2" on the server, and was able to
see 2 monitors apearing in the Windows screens. Then we have tweaked
underlying xorg.conf on the client to use dual-head display. This is where
we'er having troubles...

I have enabled "xinerama", and now I see a Windows image screen split
between 2 monitors, left half of the screen on the left monitor, and right
half of the screen on the right monitor. When I press "Shift+F11" to go to
the full screen mode, I get just a sky-blue windows screen on the left
monitor, but no login prompt (we have use -f on the client as well). If I
press "Shift+F12" to release the cursor, it's floating from the very left of
the left monitor to the very right of the right monitor... basically we're
unable to stretch the windows desktop across two monitors (we have also
checked the box "extend my workspace to this monitor" in the windows screens
config)...

Any help would be much appreciated... out goal is to get a windows desktop
to stretch over 8 heads in the best case...


Thanks!!!
Roman
