I don't understand the distinction you are making between the "Server" and the "laptop". Are these separate physical machines? Can you explain this more -- what is this "Server" and how does it function? I'm wondering if I'm missing something important in my own virtualization work.
How did you get libvirt 0.6.4? I only have 0.6.2:
[rlc@deafeng3 ~]$ rpm -q libvirt libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.x86_64
Perhaps you got it through updates-testing?
Thanks

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?

The server is a desktop server that runs qemu-kvm and libvirt. 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. BTW, top-posting makes posts hard to read, sean
