[Spice-devel] Multi-monitor support...

[Naga Mohan Pothula]

Thanks Alon,

I'm testing with 64-bit RHEL 6.1 Beta and Win7 x64 Guests.
Dual head functionality is not working with 64-bit RHEL 6.1 Beta and 
it is working with Win7 x64 but have noticed that it displays two Spice connection windows when window is in Restore mode.
It would be good idea if we set second window visibility to hide when spice client window is in restore mode.   

Could you provide me suggestions for getting multi-head functionality with Linux guests?


Regards,
Mohan

What is your guest's OS? in windows you need to enable the second screen from display settings. In linux I don't think we support it yet.
