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
