That was not my experience, as reported in my post a few days ago
("800x600 max resolution"), nor is it the experience reported in the
message that kicked off this thread.

I have been able to get a higher resolution, but it was far from
automatic.

I believe the root cause is the failure of the virtual monitor to
respond to or provide EDID (?) to tell the kernel available screen
resolutions, sync values, and similar information. I recall seeing an
open bug on this, not sure if it was kvm or qemu. I also recall it had
been open for a fairly long time.
