Fabrice et al.

I downloaded and tested this new VGA enhanced version from CVS this 
morning. Running Windows XP as guest on FC5 as host with user and kernal 
kqemu, I found that QEMU exited with an error:

Could not open SDL display

when I tried resolutions of 1152 x 864, 1280 x 1024 and 1600 x 1200. 
This occurred when I attempted to go full screen, worked fine in a window.
800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 worked fine in a window or full screen.

I am running on a laptop with a screen size of 1280 x 800 so the failing 
resolutions are when the emulated VGA is larger than the physical screen.
Is this expected behavior?

What I would really like is the ability to run at 1280x800 and be 1:1 
with my screen when in full screen mode. Is this possible, or am I 
limited by XP?

Thanks for a great product

Nigel
