(I didn't say the _resolution_ isn't real - I know it is real and I know it is in use. I was questioning the reality of the popularity part). But note again: despite its popularity, it isn't sufficient to add it to seabios, other parts of the picture should support it too, and we have a widely used piece of software (qemu) which does not support it currently and is known to crash if someone tries to use this resolution. _That_ should be fixed first, and it is not a task of adding 3 simple lines to resolutions table, it is a bit more than that.

Re: [SeaBIOS] resolution 1366x768
According to Google https://www.google.bg/?#q=most+popular+screen+resolution most popular screen resolution since 2010 is 1366x786 despite 1366 is not dividable to 8.

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. Thanks Laszlo ___ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios

It is not sufficient to just add that resolution to seabios list. I mean, it is not only bios which should have support for it. For example, qemu/kvm will not work with it. The problem here is that 1366 is not dividable by 8. In other words, each line on the screen does not end at a byte boundary in memory. This is a very weird resolution. Most devices which actually implement it use 1368x768 and just crop two vertical one-pixe-wide lines on both sides. > According to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution, > resolution 1366x768 is used by 26% from Web users, > based on stats from > http://gs.statcounter.com/#resolution-ww-monthly-201401-201404-bar This does not look real. Being a very weird resolution, with very few devices available in stores all around, it can't be real. But even if it _is_ real, it does not make this resolution any less weird.

[SeaBIOS] resolution 1366x768
Hi, i have a laptop with resolution 1366x768 and SeaBIOS doesn't have such. Please, if it is possible, someone who can, to add this resolution to vgasrc/bochsvga.c. According to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution, resolution 1366x768 is used by 26% from Web users, based on stats from http://gs.statcounter.com/#resolution-ww-monthly-201401-201404-bar Thanks Божан ___ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
