Or is there some FM I should Read? The logic in the virt-manager and virt-viewer UI for scaling isn't really behaving nicely at this time. I have work in progress for virt-viewer to make it do a much better job in particular maintaining aspect ratio while scaling. Once that's working I'll do same to virt-manager In the mean time best solution is to reduce the resolutiuon in the XP guest itself, which will be honoured by the virt-manager window Daniel
