[Spice-devel] unsupported partial overlap

[Serge Hallyn]

Hi,

it has been reported
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spice/+bug/1212704)
that in a multi-monitor setup with partial overlap, spicy runs fine but
spicec refused to run.  This is explicitly checked for in
client/x11/platform.cpp:crtc_overlap_test().

I've looked at the git tree for the origins, but it's been there since
the first commit ("fresh start").  Is this something that's really
needed i.e. due to the way spicec does rendering?

thanks,
