I''m sure this is blindingly obvious and I''m just being stupid, but how do I change a PV guest''s framebuffer size? It seems to come out at 800x600 no matter what I do. jch _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Did you try adding 1024x768 to xorg.conf ?

Interesting, maybe the PV framebuffer is limited. Anyway, why do you use PV framebuffer, it''s not a good solution. I suggest: - XDMCP - SSH display forwarding - VNC running on a local X - Nomachine or Free NX My suggestion is XDMCP and if the machine is far away, then FreeNX or Nomachine NX.

And its for those times when I''d really like to have a bigger screen. jch _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
