After reading your message I noticed that my Windows guests were using
the Cirrus display. Don't know why - maybe that was the only one that
worked when I installed the first one. I've had no need for larger
displays on the virt-manager console since I use the Windows guests
through RDP.
Anyway, I changed the display to QXL, rebooted, installed the qxldod
driver, rebooted and all the usual display resolutions are now
available. The only difference is that I used an older version of the
virtio DVD - 0.1.171
