Hello!
Recently I installed another instance of PVE on "new" server and soon after that I created VM. I installed Xubuntu 18.04 LTS and as always selected SPICE dual screen option for display. Along that I also enabled Qemu Agent and installed package `qemu-guest-agent` inside VM. However after the whole procedure I still only have single display option in client under the view section, even though the resolution of current display is correctly recognized in VM.
I created few VMs and installed latest versions of different distributions (Lubuntu, Manjaro XFCE, ...), but there was not a single VM that would show me multiple display options in client. Back when I installed my first VM and enabled Spice I remember the same problem, but it was probably because I did the minimal OS install in VM and after installing `spice-vdagent` I think this started to work. As I checked all installations I did already had that package present after first boot (and the agent service was active as copy/paste and screen resolution recognition worked out of the box). On the second install of Xubuntu on that node I don't remember that I was installing anything special to enable multi screen view for Spice.
I also noticed there were some updates for Spice included in latest revision of PVE - that node is running on 6.0-11 with updates from community repos. The initial version after install & update was 6.0-9 if I remember correctly. Is it possible there were some changes that may affect my installation and Spice feature?

Since it's the same topic, I also came across something very interesting while installed that much distros and VMs. Once I enabled Spice dual screen before I did install of Xubuntu. After everything installed and first reboot I got auto resizing screen feature which is available on Windows with installed drivers. The difference I seen in Arandr when using my other VMs where I manually set resolution and the one I just installed is that my old ones have screen named Virtual-0 (where 0 is number of display) and the new one has screen named QXL-0 (probably 0 is also number of display - couldn't test out). What should be installed/changed on my older VMs to get this feature working?
Thanks for any help in advance!
