Isn't the issue here that the emulated card has too low video memory forcing 800x600 when the driver selects the default 24bpp depth?
This is an issue with some very old real hardware too. I guess X could account for that but due to its architecture every driver would likely have a separate check for this condition (S3, cirrus, and any other driver that could be possibly used with such low- mem card). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237164 Title: kvm needs to correctly simulate a proper monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/237164/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
