UPDATE: Updating to Proxmox v8 did not fix this.
I can open a SPICE session on a Kali guest VM no problem, but I cannot get a second screen to work since I reinstalled my guest. I get a black screen for display #2 although Display #1 continues to work. Sometimes, when I resize the second screen, the desktop flickers on for a second before going to noise and then black again.
SETUP:
Proxmox 7.3-3 running on Dell 620 (124G ram // 12 cores of Intel I forget)
Relevant Guest settings:
Spice dual monitor (qxl, mem=64)
kvm 64-bit
virtio scsi
GUEST VM SETTINGS:
Tried with fresh Kali installs of default XFCE as well as separate fresh installs of Gnome (X11) and KDE Plasma (Wayland--doesn't allow dual monitors)
All of them create a second (even third) display (Virtual-2), but screen is black for Virtual-3. Below command does nothing:
Running above with sudo only causes an error about authentication, but the above (without sudo) works for Virtual-1, rezizing the first "monitor" to fit the display box size.
Ubuntu 22.04 install with same VM config works out of the box (even screen resizing).
Any suggestions welcome.
