Hey,
I'm still trying to get kvm/qemu to run at 1920x1200x32 widescreen mode
(my tft's resolution). Host is 32bit Gentoo, guest is 32bit Windows XP.
I'm using kvm-60.
Following this post [1], I added the following lines to
kvm-60/vgabios/vbetables-gen.c
{ 1920, 1200, 8 , 0x190},
{ 1920, 1200, 15 , 0x191},
{ 1920, 1200, 16 , 0x192},
{ 1920, 1200, 24 , 0x193},
After that, I called make which correctly updated vbemodes.h and
compiled the bios. I then copied the bios to /usr/share/kvm
and /usr/share/qemu.
My problem is that I can't select the video mode in Windows XP, nor are
the modes displayed in the "Show available video modes" list. I tried to
reuse existing mode numbers too, but this didn't help either. Is this a
limitation of the video memory? Do I need another/special driver for
this BIOS? I'm currently using the generic VBE 2.0 driver of the VBEMP
x86 Project [2].
Perhaps we should add a wiki page about this as the wide screen modes
are more and more common...
Thanks in advance,
Arne
