My window manager maximizes all windows. I am running kvm 0.14. Initially the VM is displayed 1:1 in the top left corner leaving large portion of the window black. Resizing the window or rebooting the VM causes the output to be scaled which is horrendous.
There are three issues here: there is no way to force the window to be the size of the VM output nor is there a way to display the VM output 1:1 regardless of window size nor is there any possibility to make the VM output scale proportionally. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+u definitely does not disable scaling for me although it causes the VM output to disappear momentarily causing the window to flash. I guess setting window size can be achieved with some WM hint (and should be a command line option and possibly a option configurable from the monitor). Obviously, not all outputs can set the hint and not all WMs will respect it. However, setting the hint *and* resizing to the desired size should give the correct size in most cases. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#NORESIZE The other issue is that scaling does not respect aspect ratio leading to horrendous VM output. I don't think there is any use case for non- proportional scaling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504368 Title: sdl window intermittently scales instead of resizing Status in QEMU: Triaged Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm Normally, the SDL output window for a VM resizes to match the VM's resolution. However, intermittently the output is instead scaled within the window. I can't seem to find any pattern to when the output is scaled versus when the window is resized. I would prefer that the window be resized as needed to display the VM in a 1:1 manner.
