Glauber: any ideas why this would have worked in 0.9.1 but not 0.10? vgabios differences perhaps? liberty: could you try using the vga /usr/share/qemu/vgabios.bin file from 0.9.1 with 0.10 and see if that makes it work? I have tried replaced the vgabios with the 0.9.1 one. It provides me all the widescreen resolution and fixed this problem. Thanks much. Moving to vgabios I don't really know. QEMU does not add any patches to vgabios, so it is probably a vgabios regression itself. Will take a look vgabios-0.6-0.6.c.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vgabios-0.6-0.6.c.fc11 vgabios-0.6-0.6.c.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update vgabios'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-5180 I have tried but the result is even worse. I upgraded to the vgabios-0.6-0.5.b.fc11_0.6-0.6.c.fc11.noarch.drpm, and then start a windows xp vm using env QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa qemu-kvm -m 1024 -soundhw es1370 -localtime -usbdevice tablet -vga std -hda xp.img The screen resolution fall back to 640x480 and the color depth is 4bit now. Using cirrcus is OK. But it still does not provide 1440x900 resolution. Windows 7 RC VM get the same result, 640x480x4bit, cannot change resolution. (In reply to comment #8) > I have tried but the result is even worse. Thanks for trying and commenting here; it's also helpful if you add a comment using the link above to change the "karma" for the update Note, the added problems with 0.6c is confirmed by bug #501545, we've unpushed the update from F-11 now This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Just posted the following to bug #501545: 1) upstream qemu-kvm vgabios added support for higher resolutions back in kvm-62: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git;a=commitdiff;h=ebfac597cf 2) in F-11 we started using upstream vgabios-0.6b, which didn't have this patch - hence bug #499060 3) 0.6c *does* have this patch, but it also has other changes which are incompatible with current qemu - it requires both VBE_DISPI_INDEX_VIDEO_MEMORY_64K and VBE_DISPI_ID5 to be present 4) F-11 bochs has this support, but qemu has its own version of the code which needs to be updated Nickel summary - we'll have 0.6c for F-12, but we need qemu updated to support it; we'll patch 0.6b with the patch linked to above for F-11 and that will fix bug #499060 vgabios-0.6b-2.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vgabios-0.6b-2.fc11 Guys, please test and karma it. vgabios-0.6b-2.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update vgabios'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-6920 I have tested it. It seems to be fixed in this version. I can use 1440x900 resolution Thanks for testing Liberty - in future, please follow the link posted by "Fedora Update System" and add your testing results there too; if enough people do that, the update gets pushed to stable automatically (In reply to comment #18) > Thanks for testing Liberty - in future, please follow the link posted by > "Fedora Update System" and add your testing results there too; if enough people > do that, the update gets pushed to stable automatically I have posted my possitive comments to the update system before posting here. Thanks for your reminding. vgabios-0.6b-2.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
