virt-manager only runs at 800x600
Google has failed me, freenode #kvm refered me to OFTC #virt and they
say it is an X thing. I can only get a kvm machine with debian stable
at a resolution of 800x600
xrandr --query reports
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
lspci |grep -i vga:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
Fedora 11 on the same box running in a kvm reports:
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
lspci |grep -i vga reports the same card as Debian
Fedora 11 is not using an xorg.conf file so I can't compare those to
files, but Debian xorg.conf file is:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
I have moved xorg.conf out of the way and have received the same result
in Debian.
Is this a case where the "new" xorg configuration is wrong? How do I
get something usable in terms of resolution in a KVM machine using
virt-manager?
