-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I''d say your best bet is to start the domain in question, make sure you either use virt-manager or have a VNC client ready to connect to it, and as soon as the VM starts, in the VNC client you''ll need to hit F8 (or use the VNC client''s menu to send F8 depending on the client) and select Safe Mode or VGA Mode. You should be able to be into Windows now and change the resolution. As an alternative, you could try setting stdvga=1 in the domain''s config file, this may force Windows to drop back to 640x480 or 800x600 (as it''s a different display driver), but I''m not entirely sure. Your best bet would be the first suggestion I think.

hi martin, it seems that i don''t have "Safe Mode or VGA Mode" when i hit "f8" with the second methode, it doesn''t work neither... strange! beacause the last time (before installing again my distrbution)i chose in the winxp some resolution, and the next reboot, i could have something fine...with the same config right now.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmm, let''s start from the beginning then. You''ve said that you set the resolution too high and now you can''t log in. Are you getting a display from XP at all? Or is your VNC client returning an error message of some kind?

Or is your VNC client > returning an error message of some kind?:) 1. the vnc works fine with the winxp. 2. when i start the winxp, the resolution is too big i.e. i can''t see the "log space", so i''d like to configure to the winxp to use 16 or 24 with resolution 1024x7** or something else... At the beginning, i would have to know whether some config in config.hvm to have enable some resolution. 3. now, when i do: - # xm create winxp.hvm - $ vnviewer localhost and hit "f8", i can''t have something you''ve said about "vga" resolution. k. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

However, I suspect if you enable "stdvga" instead of the Cirrus Logic graphics model, it will make your Windows load a different driver, which means that it will also reset the resolution (it may now be TOO small, but that''s most likely easier to manage). Of course, you can also log-in "blind" and just change the resolution - not very difficult if you use keyboard commands only and you have a second machine that you can "replicate from" (that is, use the first machine to figure out what the steps are, and do exactly the same steps on the second). When I was working at a graphics card company as a driver writer, I used to change resolution "blind" every now and again (after half a dozen times or so, you don''t even need a second machine to "replicate" from), when the driver had "got itself in a twist" - much faster to change resolution than to reboot in VGA mode!> 3. now, when i do: > - # xm create winxp.hvm > - $ vnviewer localhost > and hit "f8", i can''t have something you''ve said about "vga" > resolution.It may be that your vncviewer is using F8 for something else?? -- Mats> > k. > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
