[Users] Full-size display Windows vs Fedora 20 guests
Hi, When I select View/Full Screen on a VM running a Windows guest, the display resolution automatically adjusts to fit the new canvas. However, when I do this on a VM running Fedora 20, it doesn't. Nor do I know how to query the new canvas size so that I can issue a manual xrandr command to fit it (without doing an ssh into the system and somehow finagling xwininfo to give me the size). In the guest I am running spice-vdagent-0.15.0-1, and restarting it has no effect. Shouldn't it be the one responsible for display optimization? -Bob
More mystery. I xrandr -q my original display, and see it's 1920x1200. I then "Full Screen" my F20 VM console, and in it I issue "xrandr -s 1920x1200". The result still looks fuzzy, and has black unused real estate on both sides of the working console area. I exit Full Screen, and in my small window "xrandr -q" still reports 1920x1200. It's clearly interpolating in ways I'm not expecting... -Bob On 01/31/2014 03:06 PM, Bob Doolittle wrote:

Some needed qxl/kms patches are missing in the fedora 20 kernels, using one of the vanilla kernels from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories#Linux_vanilla_ker... helped in my testing (I picked the latest kernel-vanilla-mainline).

Thanks! Do you happen to know the bug ID(s)? -Bob On Feb 3, 2014 3:13 AM, "Christophe Fergeau" <cfergeau@redhat.com> wrote:
