This has been driving me mad! I have just installed Solaris 10 under Qemu and
specified the Xorg server to be used. I created xorg.conf with xorgconfig and
X started fine at 1024x768 using the Cirrus driver. When I edited xorg.conf
to specify a 1280x1024 display, the Xorg.0.log file showed "no mode". Now, I
have both Win XP and Plan 9 running at 1280x1024, so I booted up XP and poked
around the "Display/Settings" dialog and determined XP was running the
display at 1280x1024 at 43Hz interlaced and 16 bit colour. So, using the
handy http://xtiming.sourceforge.net site, I generated a mode line like XP's
and added it to the xorg.conf file. X refused the interlaced mode so I tried
an uninterlaced one at 43Hz. That kind of worked but only rendered half the
screen! Everything else I tried got rejected as "bad mode...".
So does someone have a magic modeline or xorg.conf to get Xorg going in a
guest at high-res? There's another guy on the Linux-under-Qemu forum with the
same problem hosting Ubuntu. I am using qemu 0.9, FWIW.
TIA
-Robin.
