Hyper-V synthetic video driver

Hi,
I'm running arch in a Hyper-v VM and since kernel 3.10 the hyperv_fb driver is included (which supports higher resolutions etc).
Currently I have the vesa driver installed.
I guess I have to use another VGA driver?

lsmod curently shows hyperv_fb loaded as part of hv_vmbus, so udev loaded it, but I still can't use a higher resolution.

So I am probablöy missing somehting (maybe in xorg.conf).

Thanks for the help!

Re: Hyper-V synthetic video driver

What does your xorg.conf look like?
