[Xen-users] debian squeeze PV domU with vfb limited to 800x600?
I have installed a domU with squeeze which has vfb, I installed xorg and gnome and they work fine. When I go to try to change the resolution it seems like I can''t change it to anything other 800x600. Is this some kind of hardcoded limit in the vfb or something I am missing? Thanks, chris _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Mark, In squeeze I don''t see to have that module... I guess I would have to compile xen from source to get it or is there some package it''s in? chris On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Mark Pryor <tlviewer@yahoo.com> wrote:> try > > > modinfo xen-fbfront.ko > > --------- domU config ---- > > extra = "xen-fbfront.video=16,1024,768" > --------- snip -------- > > > > > ________________________________ > From: chris <tknchris@gmail.com> > To: Xen-Users List <xen-users@lists.xensource.com> > Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 5:25 AM > Subject: [Xen-users] debian squeeze PV domU with vfb limited to 800x600? > > > I have installed a domU with squeeze which has vfb, I installed xorg and > gnome and they work fine.
