| Doc Text: |
When using the qxl driver, only a limited number of resolution choices were available for use inside the guest, none of which exceeded 1024x768 in size unless the xorg.conf configuration file was (first created, and then) manually edited. This update ensures that larger resolutions are available for guests with appropriate hardware without needing to manually change xorg.conf.

Can anyone comment on what resolutions are required to work? Did resolutions of higher that 1024x768 work in RHEV 2.2? This information is needed to make decision on how important this bug is. Please make sure your xorg.conf file looks something like the following: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "qxl" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1920 1200 EndSubSection EndSection If you still have a problem, please reopen this bug and attach the xorg.conf file you are using. Thanks, Hello, It works if I'll setup resolution manually tested on 1440x900 rhel6. RHEL 5 seems to have an issue with that (but this will be opened as a separate bug). Sorry RHEL 5 behaves normally. Wrong configuration applied. Hello I'd like to reopen this bug as it's an issue (xrandr should detect these resolutions and so on ...). You said that it's not problem of drv-xql, so could you please help me to pick correct component to assign this bug to? Thank you Lubos This seems like the RHEL-6 equivalent of bug 581841. I've attached a series of patches there fixing this. I've a patch for this, taking and adding devel ack. Build works perfectly for me. This is fixed in xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-3.el6, moving to modified.
