Thank you very much! I had problems with a Debian 11 "bullsheye" resetting its virtual terminal resolution as soon as the kernel takes over, despite Grub showing in the correct resolution I set in /etc/default/grub. Searching around for more than an hour didn't turn up anything really useful until I finally found your video and gave the
Using "Virtio" display setting and changing the screen resolution from your guest OS works but in my case the scrolling became rather jerky. Do you have any solution to that?
That's nice, but I have monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution and it is not available, not before boot and not after. I can add mode with xrandr if I am using xorg though. With Wayland I was not able to find solution, it seems no way to change it to 2560 x 1440 at all.
There may be several reasons for something to not be the first proposed solution on google. One of which may be the fact that this solution does not actually work. As soon as you click apply, the resolution element you've just created will disappear and no changes will be made.
Very simple question: how can I set the window size of a QEMU window from command line? I am asking this because extensive googling didn't give me any usable answer. When I run the qemu-system-x86_64 command, I can choose the -full-screen option, but I didn't figure out how to simply give an initial window size (when you start QEMU without full screen mode, the default Window size is very small). The only thing I could find is the -g option, but this one is "PPC, SPARC only" according to the man page and does indeed not work, probably because it directly passes this resolution to the VM itself. While the thing is that the Linux system that I am running inside the VM perfectly adjusts it's screen resolution based on the QEMU window size when I manually change it by resizing, that's why I don't understand if there won't be any option for it in the QEMU command line.
Same problem. Anything with a 80x25 screen like DOS is too small on modern systems. I can change the window size while it's running, but that doesn't take effect. Earlier, it was different. Qemu used to allow software-scaling to any size.
я уже второй день трачу на это время, в инете только и написано "ставь qxl и всё получится" и больше инфы ноль, а что получится вообще фиг его знает. я сам использую virtio в качестве гпу, ибо удобней, особено с 3д, но ля))) qxl ни в какие ворота. так вот, о чём это я работает отлично и для virtio, а не только qxl
From docs: Since 5.9.0 , the model element may also have an optional resolution sub-element. The resolution element has attributes x and y to set the minimum resolution for the video device. This sub-element is valid for model types "vga", "qxl", "bochs", "gop", and "virtio". I think that's all there is to it?
Thank you. I'm in endless tutorial hell learning Qemu. Your video was so "to the point" and easy to follow.
Thanks, you're a life saver! I've been looking for that exact configuration for a couple of hours now 🙂

Thank you! I've been researching this for a couple of hours and you helped in minutes
for us newbies, what is the correct command line to type in?
On top of all the other benefits of using QEMU, this helps to make QEMU so much better than VirtualBox!
Very elegant solution, thank you very much. Now all my VMs look clean from start up.
it doesn't change, until i change to vga instead of qxl. or i miss something ?

you helped me a lot, thank you.
your channel has a lot of quality and potential, please continue. _o/
i wasted hours for this setting. THANK YOU
Thanks bro... You are helpful...
Finally, a simple solution for a stupidly simple problem!
Nice tip, it's saved a lot of frustration
It worked! Thanks
Does this work for any OS? I want to virtualize MacOS and last time I did it. I couldn't set 4k
Whatever you put into the xml file, it was completely unreadable, even with the screen full size on my 4k monitor.
Thank you very much worked like a charm!
That's.....amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Love your work!
Beautiful.... and easy, thanks!!!
Thank you!!!
I dont understand how is this not the first proposed solution in google!

@@TheBackslash1 you are doing something wrong because it worked for me.
but how to save the changes it didn't work, just reverts when you hit apply
Guest offline? Guet has to be shut down
@@meerpirat3418 Same problem, but shutting it didn't do anything.
Can someone tell me how in the hell to get out of full screen mode?
Tried it, kept getting an xml error
Hello, can we add a property to custom the scale of the screen ?
when I apply the change the part I added just dissapears.
That's because if where you have to start and end the element
Should be like this:
(no slash)
(slash here)
(and here)
By default it's like:
can you it harder to read the text on your screen please.

I wish you would let us in on the secret to writing resolution elements.
From docs:
Since 5.9.0 , the model element may also have an optional resolution sub-element. The resolution element has attributes x and y to set the minimum resolution for the video device. This sub-element is valid for model types "vga", "qxl", "bochs", "gop", and "virtio".
I think that's all there is to it?
Yes, it is helpfull. But it would have been nice, if you had shown the line a bit bigger ....
helpful yes very, however I could not see the line you added or edited...... ouch! lol
