It depends on the guest OS version. QEMU exposes a cirrus logic card by
defualt, and given the lack of vsync/hsync info, the Xorg driver will
pick 800x600 as the default resolution in absence of any Xorg.conf About
6 months or so back, we got Xorg guys to add a code to the Xorg cirrus
driver that looked for the QEMU PCI subsystem ID and if found, defaults
to 1024x768 instead. Of course this is itself still far from optimal
as a user experiance. We really want it to be fully configured to any
resolution as easily as the user would do with a real graphics card &
monitor.
