[Spice-devel] Ubuntu 14.04.2 guest resolution only 640x480

[Bob Doolittle]

When creating Ubuntu 14.04.02 VM guests on my Fedora 20 host (ovirt 3.5.1, libvirt 1.1.3.9, kvm, virt-viewer-0.6.0), the console is only presenting a 640x480 resolution. I see the following in syslog:

Mar 13 10:14:10 ubuntu spice-vdagent[1974]: width not in driver range: ! 640 < 792 < 640
Mar 13 10:14:10 ubuntu spice-vdagent[1974]: height not in driver range: ! 480 < 653 < 480


I am running spice-vdagent 0.14.0-1ubuntu1

Is this a known problem?
I also note I am unable to install xserver-xorg-video-qxl due to dependency conflicts:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xserver-xorg-video-qxl : Depends: xorg-video-abi-15
                          Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.14.99.902)


This appears to be a very old known bug however: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-qxl/+bug/1267360

I also see this in syslog:

Mar 13 10:08:18 ubuntu kernel: [    2.572165] [drm:qxl_pci_probe] *ERROR* qxl too old, doesn't support client_monitors_config, use xf86-video-qxl in user mode
Mar 13 10:08:18 ubuntu kernel: [    2.572169] qxl: probe of 0000:00:02.0 failed with error -22


Does anybody know what's up here?

Thanks,
