Hi,
I would like to use a resolution 1920x1080 for my Windows XP Guest.
However I only see 1680x1050 and 19520x1200 with nothing in between.I
did see a message that resolution 1920x1080 was added to to vga bios.
Anyone knows how I can activate the 1920x1080 resolution? I'm using
Debian sid. Thanks in advance

Leave KVM at the default resolution (eg. don't specify any
resolution), activate remote desktop in Windows XP and connect with
rdesktop or some other RDP client to the guest.
The RDP protocol will give you the resolution you request and will
also be much more responsive/faster than if you do VNC to a KVM guest
running at some high native resolution. VNC to a Windows guest should
only be needed for installing Windows and for debugging when Windows
doesn't boot.
Best regards
Kenni

Why are you assuming VNC?
