Just starting out with an XP guest on Fedora 11 kvm. I'm using virt-manager to connect from a laptop. Server: kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 qemu-*-0.10.50-6.kvm86.fc11.x86_64 libvirt-0.6.4-2.fc11.x86_64 On the laptop: virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.i586 libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.i586 The console comes, and XP runs fine. But, screen is scaled too large vertically for my laptop screen which is 1280x800. Only with fullscreen can I see the bottom menu bar. I would have assumed I could change the size of the screen (even if not the aspect ratio), but I can't. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just The Way Things Are? sean -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

I connect to that server from my laptop using virt-manager. For newer spins, koji is your friend. Try http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=104926, get the src.rpm and rebuild.
