Many laptops have it as their native display resolution, for example the Lenovo IdeaPad B590: http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/lenovo/b-series/b590/ (It's an exceedingly annoying resolution, granted; but it *is* real.) > But even if it _is_ real, it does not make this resolution any > less weird. > > Thanks, > > /mjt, who added it once to seabios (not a rocket science to add 3 lines > to vgasrc.c) just to discover that qemu crashes once (windows) > guest tries to switch to it That was a security bug then. Let's hope that the fix for CVE-2014-3615 covered that case too.
