[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Allow 1366x768 as a valid VGA resolution

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Allow 1366x768 as a valid VGA resolution

[John Baboval]

760p TV panels have a 1366x768 resolution, and have been popular
recently as low-cost monitors. The 1366 resolution doesn't pass
the (xres & 7) == 0 test.

Why is it save to simply remove the test?
Guess there is a reason why it is there in the first place?

cheers,

I don't know of any reason for it.

I'd guess it is alignment, probably not important for all color depts.

Maybe it is a good idea to do all sanity checks in the
VBE_DISPI_INDEX_ENABLE branch where the actual mode switch happens. Then
you already know xres, yres and depth when applying the checks.  You can
calculate the scanline length, then check the scanline alignment instead
of being overly strict on xres in high color modes to satisfy alignment
requirements in low color modes.

You can also simply calculate how much memory the video mode needs and
check that against the configured video ram instead of pulling xres and
yres limits out of thin air.

cheers,
  Gerd

This is a good idea. I'm going to re-work the patch, but I have a lot of 
other stuff going on too, so it may be a week or so before I get back to it.
