People, I sent this note to the Fedora virtual list so I thought I might try here . . I installed a Fedora 16 x86_64 virtual machine on a Fedora 14 x86_64 server but used a physical disk (/dev/sdb = /dev/vda) so I could get the new server going almost completely in virtual mode and then when it was ready to go, reboot the machine on the new drive. This process went extremely well (thanks to all the Fedora developers!) but there were a few glitches left to sort out - one of which was the screen resolution for both the console and in X. It seems the default virtual screen is 1024x768 but I need 1280x1024(or 768). I tried adding a vga parameter to the linux line in the grub.cfg file but that only temporarily changed the resolution during bootup. xorg.conf doesn't get used much anymore - do I need to create it for this case? Is there some way to tell Fedora to rediscover the maximum screen resolution somehow? Thanks, Phil.
Hi Phil: Are you using Virtual Box? Did you install guest additions? Cheers, Germán. -- Germán A.
