The problem seems to be specific to usage of screen (the screen manager terminal emulator) Gnome terminal + ssh <host> + screen + virsh => failure Gnome terminal + ssh <host> + virsh => no display problem Xterm + ssh <host> + screen + virsh => failure Xterm + ssh <host> + virsh => no display problem display redraw with Ctrl+L is partially cleaning the display.
