xen discuss - Oct 2007 - FreeBSD Console Xwindow ?

Hi,
 
   Using the B66-Xen-DVD.....
   When a MS Windows XP DomU  is started the SDL renderd window chnges size 
   with the resoulution given to the  MS windows display prperties applet. 

   When I start an Xwindows  session on a FreeBSD 6.2  DomU  the  SDLlib 
   rendered windows stays static displaying only  a portion of the 
   Xwindows  display.   

   I this a limitation of software  ?

I think the Xorg server is unable to query a list of supported video modes
from the virtual monitor device, so it defaults to 640x480 (or some low-res
mode like that).

It should be possible to force Xorg to use 1280x1024 at 16-bit depths, using
a custom xorg.conf file.  Try to add the following ModeLine to the xorg.conf
monitor section:

    ModeLine "1280x1024" 75.45 1280 1312 1592 1624  1024 1046 1053
1076


And set a "DefaultDepth 16" in the screen section.
