Hello,
I have Ubuntu installed as a domU and can connect to it over VNC
running in dom0. However I cannot increase the resolution above 800x600.
I would really like 1024x786. In the Ubuntu guest it says there graphics card
is a VESA compatible, and only has 600x400 and 800x600 screen resolutions.
My domU config is shown below.
I have stdvga=0
I searched the mailing lists, and it said stdvga=1 may offer more video
modes, but if I do that, then the domU boots, but I just get a grey screeen
with a mouse pointer. No actual desktop/login window etc.
So I guess my question is, using HVM and display with VNC, is it normal
to be able to get video modes above 800x600 screen resolution in guests?
If so, can this be done with stdvga=0 ?
Thanks
