Hi Dennis,
Wow, great help Dennis, you just solved my problem I've been
struggling with for the last week and as expected it was something
silly. I had upgraded from QEMU 1.0 to 1.2 but all my libvirt domains
were still specifying PC-1.1, simply changing them to PC-1.2 allowed the
framebuffer to go from 8MB to 16MB enabling the higher resolutions.
However, something else caught my eye that may help solve another
problem I was having with dual heads, is your QEMU command generated by
libvirt, and if so would you be able to send me a copy of the .XML file
that you use (or just the graphics/QXL part)? I'm curious whats
generating this part of the command:
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=67108864,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device qxl,id=video2,vram_size=67108864,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7
Thanks.

Betreff: Re: Higher (quadratical) resolution
We're running into a similar problem, however the highest resolution
available to us is 1900x1080 in Linux (Windows is much higher).
Dennis, I'm wondering if you would be so kind as to provide us with your
Xorg.log file from the guest, as well as the QEMU command you use to
start the guest so we could do some comparisons?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Higher (quadratical) resolution
Hi David,
installing all updates for Fedora 18 didn't help, but enabling the
"Test Updates" repository did help - so obviously this feature is
still not officially released.
Now the output of xrandr looks like this:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192
qxl-0 connected 2560x1600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
2560x1600 60.0*+
2560x1440 60.0
2048x1536 60.0
1920x1440 60.0
1920x1200 60.0
1920x1080 60.0
1600x1200 60.0
1680x1050 60.0
1400x1050 60.0
1600x900 60.0
1280x1024 60.0

1280x960 60.0

960x640 60.0

800x480 60.0
640x480 60.0
qxl-1 disconnected
qxl-2 disconnected
qxl-3 disconnected
Now the highest resolution which the "Displays" tool offers is
2560x1600 Pixels. Therefore I tried to change the resolution with
the comand:
xrandr --output qxl-0 --mode 2048x2048
But the error message:
xrandr: cannot find mode 2048x2048
was displayed.
Any idea how I could achieve this? (I would prefer a static xorg.conf
but don't know the configuration options)
Adding new modeline worked for me (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr), I've added only a line into Monitor section of xorg.conf:
"Modeline "2048x2048_60.00" 358.25 2048 2208 2432 2816 2048 2051 2061 2121 -hsync +vsync"
Best regards and thanks in advance
Dennnis

Hi David,
I am using Fedora 18 as guest and host system. The output of xrandr
is the following:

1200

800x480 60.0
640x480 75.0 73.0 60.0
The highest resolution which I can chose from the tool "Display
Settings" ist 1920 x 1200.
So what do I have to change in order to get a resolution of
2048x2048 pixels?
1) make sure that you use qxl driver and you have spice-vdagentd and
spice-vdagent running (at least two processes of the latter - one for
*DM, one for desktop environment)
2) go fullscreen (or generally, resize the window)
Spice in F18 should support arbitrary resolution so if you don't
resolution in the list, you can still resize the client, client then
sends new resolution to the agent and agent sets it.
If it doesn't work for you, the necessary versions may be in updates
or
still in updates-testing.
David
Best regards
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
that limit was increased to much higher value few years ago and
there
should be no issue with 2048x2048 screens.

Dear Spice-Mailing-List,
since we use quadratically monitors with 2048x2048 pixels and we
need to work in full-screen mode, I would like to use such a
resolution with Spice in my KVM-VM. According to my information
the corresponding KVM graphic card qxl only supports up to 1920
x 1200 pixels. Is there any way to increase this limit?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Dennis
