[Qemu-devel] High resolution VGA modes

[Fabrice Bellard]

Hi,

The previous commits enable the support of higher resolution VGA modes 
in QEMU (1152x864, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200) when using the VESA device 
driver (-std-vga option). The VESA device driver is known to work with 
Linux and Windows XP.

The VGA memory was increased to 8 MB to enable 1600x1200 with 32 bits 
per pixel. I updated the built-in VNC server so that it supports higher 
resolutions too.

Note that the Cirrus VGA device driver was not modified, so it has the 
same limitations are before (4 MB Video Memory, up to 1280x1024). These 
limitations are unfortunately linked to the emulated Cirrus VGA hardware 
and guest OS video drivers.

Fabrice.
