Thank you very much Thomas. That also explains why get- edid(1) does not work on this laptop. > See also > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Display_Identification_Data#Limitations > for some more information. It says: For 1366x768 pixel Wide XGA panels the nearest resolution expressible in the EDID standard timing descriptor syntax is 1360x765 pixels, typically leading to 3 pixel thin black bars. I can live with 3-pixel black bars, if QEMU will only enter a corresponding full-screen mode. What I cannot live with, is a scaled image with intepolative blur or other artefacts. > I assume you'd need a special driver in the guest to force > that display mode - but I've got no clue whether that > exists for the graphic cards that QEMU emulates.

OK.
