[Spice-devel] Windows 10 and current latest spice guest additions causes blank/black screen issue

[i iordanov]

Hi guys!

Installing current latest spice guest additions from here on Windows 10:

https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe

(I guess v0.132) causes a fresh Windows 10 installation in oVirt to
die with a blank, black screen the moment the client requests a new
resolution immediately after the spice guest tools finish installing.
I was able to reproduce the issue with my Pixel XL and my Nexus 7
devices running my Android clients.

Here is the resolution the Nexus 7 requested, causing the Windows 10
blank screen issue:

09-15 23:01:18.324 10075 10075 E RemoteCanvas: Width requested: 1920
09-15 23:01:18.324 10075 10075 E RemoteCanvas: Height requested: 1200

As you can see, the resolution is greater than 1080p because immersive
mode is enabled in the application. The Pixel XL screen is even higher
resolution, but I don't have the logs captured.

As far as I recall, the previous version of guest tools I had
installed (not sure exactly which) was not responding to resolution
change requests, and my previous Windows 10 installation was happily
chugging along. I've killed the old Windows 10 installation and the
fresh installation I made in order to ensure it wasn't something else
that was causing the issue.

Sincerely,
iordan
