I believe it is a rather well-known screen-resolution-change bug in QXL ...

Can you give the exact command line arguments you used? or the libvirt domain XML you used to start this? I want to make sure I've fixed this adequately in my patch queue before the next bump.

I believe the fix for this issue should be contained within qemu-1.2.2-r3 but let me know if it is not.

Comment 3 Svenne Krap 2013-02-11 11:07:01 UTC

The qemu-1.2.2-r3 does not fix the issue.

The commandline is

nice -n1 qemu-kvm -name win7v -monitor telnet:192.168.1.3:8501,server,nowait -drive file=/home/sk/kvm/win7v.qcow2,if=virtio,cache=none,boot=on -smp cores=2 -usbdevice tablet -m 4096 -k da -vga qxl -vnc :1 -enable-kvm -rtc base=localtime -daemonize -cpu kvm64 -soundhw hda -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=C0:FF:EE:30:13:24 -net vde -pidfile _pids/win7v-base

Comment 4 Svenne Krap 2013-02-17 10:27:10 UTC

Updated to 1.4 which works flawlessly..
