[Spice-devel] Higher (quadratical) resolution

[Dennis Böck]

Hi David,

installing all updates for Fedora 18 didn't help, but enabling the "Test Updates" repository did help - so obviously this feature is still not officially released.
Now the output of xrandr looks like this:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192
qxl-0 connected 2560x1600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   2560x1600      60.0*+
   2560x1440      60.0  
   2048x1536      60.0  
   1920x1440      60.0  
   1920x1200      60.0  
   1920x1080      60.0  
   1600x1200      60.0  
   1680x1050      60.0  
   1400x1050      60.0  
   1600x900       60.0  
   1280x1024      60.0  
   1440x900       60.0  
   1280x960       60.0  
   1366x768       60.0  
   1360x768       60.0  
   1280x800       60.0  
   1152x870       60.0  
   1152x864       60.0  
   1280x768       60.0  
   1280x760       60.0  
   1280x720       60.0  
   1024x768       60.0  
   1024x600       60.0  
   960x640        60.0  
   832x624        60.0  
   800x600        60.0  
   800x480        60.0  
   640x480        60.0  
qxl-1 disconnected
qxl-2 disconnected
qxl-3 disconnected

Now the highest resolution which the "Displays" tool offers is 2560x1600 Pixels. Therefore I tried to change the resolution with the comand:
xrandr --output qxl-0 --mode 2048x2048 
But the error message: 
xrandr: cannot find mode 2048x2048
was displayed.
Any idea how I could achieve this? (I would prefer a static xorg.conf but don't know the configuration options)

Best regards and thanks in advance
Dennnis

1) make sure that you use qxl driver and you have spice-vdagentd and
spice-vdagent running (at least two processes of the latter - one for
*DM, one for desktop environment)

2) go fullscreen (or generally, resize the window)

Spice in F18 should support arbitrary resolution so if you don't
resolution in the list, you can still resize the client, client then
sends new resolution to the agent and agent sets it.

If it doesn't work for you, the necessary versions may be in updates or
still in updates-testing.

According to my information the corresponding KVM graphic card qxl only supports up to 1920 x 1200 pixels. Is there any way to increase this limit?
