Hi Christophe,
I was using just "spicec" as the viewer in full screen mode, but trying
remote-viewer doesn't seem to make any difference (full-screen or
windowed mode), it just scales the guest display (and results in blurry
text) and doesn't actually change the resolution on the guest side. I
checked and spice-vdagent/spice-vdagentd are running in the guest as
well and the log shows connections to it being made...
Using the script Gerd posted to force xrandr to change the resolution
does work for a few minutes, but as soon as I try to launch some
applications like Libreoffice Writer it crashes X immediately. It also
seems to cause all sorts of other strange issues with the window manager
(title bars disappear and reappear, etc...)

I'm trying to get 2K+ resolutions to work with SPICE/QXL and QEMU 2.2

to 128MB from 64MB, but that didn't seem to make a difference, is there
something simple I'm missing perhaps?
These resolutions are missing from the drm driver

booting with nomodeset should make them 'appear' in the guest (but
better not to do that).
With remote-viewer/gnome-boxes, you should be able to resize the guest
window to any size you want, including the higher resolutions you are
looking for. Is this not working?
