CentOS virt - Feb 2010 - Sound and VGA resolution for KVM guests

Hi all,

  Recentlly, I have installed a Windows 7 Enterprise kvm guest under a CentOS
5.4
kvm host (fully updated) using virtio drivers and all works ok except two
things:
sound and vga resolution.

  a) How can I increase vga resolution to 1440x900 or is not possible to
configure
more than 1024x768 when virt-manager is used??

  b) I have assigned a sound device to this windows guest (ac97) but it
doesn't
works. Do I need to download this driver from some location?? Under hardware
view
windows shows me a multimedia device but without driver installed.

Thanks.

For video you can turn on RDP in Windows and then connect to it with your 
preferred RDP client... typically rdesktop or tsclient.  You can specify the
desired resolution for the RDP connection and you should get whatever resolution
you want.

For sound, I think sound might work when connected via RDP, but I'm not
sure.

TYL,
