Question about fedora 18 domain screen resolution in kvm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

I've been trying to play around with fedora 18 beta in a kvm guest on RHEL 6. But the f18 VM's screen is too big to work on the smallish monitors I have without scroll bars. 

Is there some way I can force my f18 guest domain to have a resolution of 1024x768 like some other fedoras (15, 16, 17) had inside KVM?

I tried following this suggestion:


https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/951/how-do-i-change-my-monitors-resolution

changing Driver          "intel" to Driver          "cirrus"

But when I put the three files in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ X won't start. Here is what is in the end of the log:

[    51.017] (++) using VT number 1

[    51.017] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for cirrus
[    51.017] (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
[    51.017] (--) Chipset CLGD5446 found
[    51.017] (EE) cirrus: The PCI device 0xb8 at 00@00:02:0 has a kernel module claiming it.
[    51.017] (EE) cirrus: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded.
[    51.017] (EE) No devices detected.
[    51.017] 
Fatal server error:
[    51.017] no screens found
[    51.017] (EE) 
Please consult the Fedora Project support 
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
[    51.017] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[    51.017] (EE) 

Just putting the first file (40-monitor.conf) did not help. Putting the other two caused X to stop working...

Has anyone been able to change the resolution on a fedora 18 kvm guest before? Anyone know why the resolution got bigger in f18?

Thanks for any ideas anyone might have...
