How to Use 1366x768 Resolution in QEMU

I'm on Arch64 using the following command to load a QEMU image,

qemu-kvm -boot c -m 2048 -hda /home/karam/win_xp.img -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -localtime -k en-us -soundhw ac97 -vga std

I just switched from a 1280x800 screen to a laptop with a 1366x768 screen and the new resolution does not appear as an option for the screen resolution in my gues OS (XP64). Does anyone have any ideas?

Try posting on the QEMU form or what you could do.. is use a computer with a larger screen. backup your files. Destroy the image and just start from scratch. -shrugs-. Goodluck my friend.

The trick is to use VMWare video drivers. Here I found the instructions:

After that just run qemu with "-vga vmware" option.

Perhaps someone could repost this to another thread at http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php? … 98&p=16346 ? It just won't accept my email address during registration.
