[Spice-devel] Ultra Wide resolution

[guidugli at gmail.com]

Hi Uri and Pavel,

Sorry for the delay but I was really busy at work in the past days and
I wanted to play a bit with the settings and make sure I am not doing
some mistake. So, I did install the latest vdagent and my VM is set
like below:
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'
primary='yes'/>

If I try to change the resolution of the VM, I can change to 2560x1440,
or 2560x1600 but there is no 2560x1080 mode available.

I believe that the problem is that this mode is not listed in the
qxl/vdagent driver. 

Thanks

Carlos
