Hi,
Where did the monitor configuration go in f11? I've booted a virtualized
instance of F11 using kvm but can only get a maximum resolution of 800x600.
The monitor is displayed as "unknown" and there seems to be no way to
select one (like for example a generic 1280x1024 one).
I'm also running an instance of WinXP using kvm and there I get higher
resolutions out of the box.

What X driver do you end up using?  What does the X log look like?

There's a hack in the cirrus driver to detect when we're running under
kvm, but naturally it only works if you're running a sufficiently new
kvm.  There is no equivalent hack in the vesa driver, but there
certainly could be.

I just rebuilt the latest f11 qemu/kvm for my f10 host system and now I can get to 1024x768x24 or 1280x1027x16 but not higher. According to the log the cirrus "card" is only equipped with 4mb of video ram. Could this be a limiting factor? 4mb seems to be a rather low amount of ram these days for a video card.

Regards,
  Dennis
