qemu/kvm with -vga std not offering native resolution of my laptop
Guest system is Windows 7, and has options that bound my native resolution of 1600 x 900, such as 1440 x 900, and other ones greater. Would like to figure out how to get 1600 x 900. Using vncviewer, if that matters at all.

Not quite sure what you mean.. Changing the guest OS's resolution doesn't work?

Nah, because my host res (1600x900) isn't an option, the closest being 1440x900.

Oh I gotcha.. I have the same problem in my recent kali VM, but I tend to prefer parrot-sec over kali anyway so its a non-issue for me.

Maybe try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#vnc ?
please post the full comand line you use to start the VM.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

Why not send the problem to QEMU mailing lists? (If you sure it’s not an ArchLinux bug.)

Re: qemu/kvm with -vga std not offering native resolution of my laptop
Command to run VM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -drive file=/home/username/Qemu\ VMs/Win7.cow,format=qcow2 -m 2G -vga std -usb -device usb-tablet -net nic -net user,smb=/home/username/Downloads -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:5678,server,nowait &
gaofei, if messing the vncviewer/display doesn't help I'll definitely do as you suggest.
