Hi Alon,
I'm looking some weird behaviour this time. I tested with different versions of qemu.
1.) Two black screen windows for Linux guests with Qemu 0.14.0
2.) Two black screen windows for both Windows and Linux guests with Qemu taken from git repository(git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~alon/qemu)
If i launch for single QXL device, everything works fine. I'm seeing bitmaps are delivered until second spice windows is launched.
3.) Tested with Qemu 0.15.0-rc1. Black screen window is launched even with single QXL device for win7 guest and for linux too.
if I specify "-global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432" then I'm getting the output as at First case
Here is guest command line:
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
file=/home/naga/spice-0.8/images/rhel61bt64.qcow,if=ide -soundhw ac97 -L
pc-bios -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432 \
-device qxl -device
virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent -device
virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \
-spice
port=$SPICE_PORT,disable-ticketing -usbdevice tablet -enable-kvm -m 1024 -net
nic,model=e1000,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:84:fe:00:02 \
-net
user,vlan=1,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1
Even with Qemu 0.15.0 and option "-global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432" is specified, two black screens for Linux guests happened.
Regards,
Naga.

The guest is RHEL 64-bit? and you had it working with two pci devices before?
Can you please post complete guest command line?
Host is running qemu release candidate for 0.15.0 and spice 0.9.0, right?
Did you try reducing vram size below 30 MB like suggested on another thread due to bios limitation?

I had to remove the "Screen" config from the Device sections from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, at which point I was able to start with 2 SPICE windows but blank. This is after applying your patch (using the 0.13.0 tag in git for the QXL driver). gdb'ing Xorg and getting a backtrace shows:
