I recently installed qemu-kvm 0.15.0-2 on my x86_64 and I am problems getting any distros to recognize any resolution above 1024x768. I have the kvm module loaded, Intel VT-E enabled in my bios, 16gb ram (2gb for the VM), 1gb ATI card , xmonad WM, and I running the VM on my 3rd 1600x900 monitor.
I am launching the VM with:
qemu-kvm -drive file=fedora.img,if=virtio,boot=on
Here are the versions of the Catalyst driver and xorg that I am using:
╔═ comhack@Cerberus 11:22 PM
╚═══ ~-> pacman -Qi xorg-server | grep Version
Version : 1.10.4-1
╔═ comhack@Cerberus 11:23 PM
╚═══ ~-> pacman -Qi catalyst-total | grep Version
Version : 11.9-1
╔═ comhack@Cerberus 11:24 PM
╚═══ ~-> glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
and also:
╔═ comhack@Cerberus 11:24 PM
╚═══ ~-> lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel 53373 3
kvm 328912 1 kvm_intel
I checked the wiki entries for KVM and QEMU when setting Qemu up and I could not find any information on getting a higher resolution. Does anyone have a link or any information thar I can read up on enabling a higher resolution with Qemu-KVM?
Thanks

I also tried adding the -vga std option when launching the VM but I still can only get 1024x768 resolution. Any ideas?

Use vmware drivers:
cur_work$ cat ~/temp/vm-start
#!/bin/bash
qemu-kvm -hda $1 -net nic,model=virtio \
-net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:15000-:22 -vga vmware \
-usbdevice tablet -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex -m 512
But be sure that appropriate drivers are present in the guest OS.
EDIT: Off-topic: Out of curiosity, how many threads does qemu-kvm create when running with virtio_blk? For me it's ~150, which I hits my ulimit settings...

-vga vmware worked beautifully
Thanks again

vga-vmware is slow compared to cirrus and sometimes crashes (maybe in recent versions this works better)
Just add correct modelines, thats all.

Thanks Djgera, I am checking it now. :-)
