<div dir="ltr">Are you using the Openstack console itself? You might have more flexibility with a dedicated VNC server inside the VM and connect directly to it. So you would not be tied to the Openstack VNC support which I dont think was ever designed for graphical usage.

Thank you for the information.<br>
<br>
What's the replacement? Is VNC getting improvements to allow higher resolutions, and multi-monitor, in the guest?<br>
<br>
We've already decided to transition our OpenStack cluster away from CentOS, as RDO doesn't package some of the OpenStack projects we'd like to use, and RedHat has lost our trust.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Not an answer, but I'd be very careful about building solutions based on SPICE.<br>
It has been deprecated in RHEL 8.3 and recent versions of Fedora and is slated<br>
for removal in RHEL 9, as this bug [1] points out. It is also receives very<br>
little attention in nova as some deployments tooling (such as Red Hat OSP) has<br>
not supported it for some time. There's a non-zero chance support for this<br>
console type will be dropped entirely in some future release.<br>
