I have a nexenta alpha 6 with updates that just comes up in 1280x800 by setting the HorizSync value in the xorg.conf. > Now, I > have both Win XP and Plan 9 running at 1280x1024, so I booted up XP and poked > around the "Display/Settings" dialog and determined XP was running the > display at 1280x1024 at 43Hz interlaced and 16 bit colour.

Since the virtual monitor doesn't specify EDID, it is unlikely to be able to handle resolutions over the basic ones. I know that a while ago (maybe 18 months) I was able to get something like 1156x864 out of the adapter with early versions of Solaris express. . > So does someone have a magic modeline or xorg.conf to get Xorg going in a > guest at high-res? There's another guy on the Linux-under-Qemu forum with the > same problem hosting Ubuntu. I am using qemu 0.9, FWIW. Probably a combination of HorizSync/VertRefresh in the monitor section, DefaultDepth in the Screen section, and a mode line, you might get what you want. HTH, Ben
