[Spice-devel] Why does an Ubuntu VM in Boxes not offer the full display resolution from the host?

[Ralph Plawetzki]

Dear spice dev list,

with gnome-boxes / QEMU session / spice / QXL driver I've found a 
desktop virtualisation solution that works excellent!

There is only on thing missing: the max display resolution of the host 
(2560x1440) is not available in the guest. When I put the guest into 
fullscreen, the resolution is half (1280x720) of the resolution of the host.

The VM (current Ubuntu) has spice-vdagent and xserver-xorg-video-qxl 
installed. Display resize works. The host is running Arch linux with a 
current stack.

The hardware of the host is a Lenovo laptop with this display driver: 
intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 20161121

Using xrandr works to set the resolution to 2560x1440. Can this be 
considered as a spice bug?

Kind regards,

Ralph
