[Qemu-devel] getting the 5446 in 1152x864 mode

[Qemu-devel] getting the 5446 in 1152x864 mode

[Julian Seward]

Using the latest cvs sources on x86 SuSE 10.0 host, Win2K guest,
the 1152x864 mode offered to me by Windows doesn't work.  Instead
I just get moved to 640x480, it looks like.  The modes on either
side of it - 1024x768 and 1280x1024 work fine.  Is 1152x864 
supported by the driver?

Does this project have a bugzilla or any openly-visible bug tracking
system?

I've been able to get 1152x864 out of the Solaris Xorg gdm5446 driver
so there must be something else that's causing you problems.  I think I've
gotten win98se to do it as well.

Thanks for the confirmation.  So, I re-tried (extensively) to get
1152x864.  That resolution is listed by Windows as possible at 70Hz
and 75Hz (monitor), so I set the monitor refresh rates to those values
in the Windows display settings, but still no success.  Even with
rebooting after changing the settings.

I still also have sometimes an 'invisible wall' problem for the mouse 
pointer problem that was discussed on this list a few weeks ago.

1152x864 doesn't work in WinXP either, and I am also still getting
'invisible wall' mouse problems.  I wonder if my build is broken;
but I'm not sure how.  It's a clean build of cvs from two days
ago, using gcc 3.4.3 on SuSE 10 (x86).  The only change I made is to
increase the translation cache size.
